Reply to comment by pseudopad in ELI5: How are the Xray machines at airports not super dangerous? by Curious-Nothing6234
They used to have some backscatter x-ray machines for full body scanning at some airports because federal contracting rules required two sources for scanners.
Since then they’ve been removed because any dose of x-rays is worth avoiding when you have the millimeter wave scanners available.
