A new report from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine finds the x-ray scanners at US airports are safe (even though they're still a little creepy).
Ever since Physics Buzz blogger EchoRomeo took a look at the open questions surrounding airport security x-ray scanners back in 2010, I've made a point of refusing to submit to x-ray scans when I travel. Instead, I've opted to get familiar with many of the wonderful TSA officers trained in (literally) hands-on screening methods. It now appears that those awkward moments staring at the ceiling and thinking of England were probably unnecessary, according to a new AAPM report.
