While I don't recall numbers from my clinical lectures, radiologists
told me that people who take a transatlantic flight are exposed a few
chest x-ray's worth of radiation from space, based on typical radiation
exposure level used.

I wonder what would happen if people carried x-ray film in a totally
black bag in aircraft... although there's a reciprocity failure issue,
but perhaps x-ray films get fogged even without security scanning.

Ok, end of another useless post.
