And the EPA is also not an independent body of professionals, whatever else they may be.

And even if the machine isn’t working properly, the amount of radiation produced is going to be negligible. The sheer amount of power required in order to produce significant amounts of radiation wouldn’t be possible to pass through to the machine. X-ray machines draw shitloads of power in order to deliver their radiation. Further, if the emitter was overactive in that regard, it’d be noticeable immediately unless, by some strange coincidence, the monitor was mis-calibrated to exactly the extent that the machine was malfunctioning.

Again: I don’t care about whether or not pilots get screened. I do care that people not fearmonger about the amount of radiation produced by these machines.
