Not even close. Which also raises questions about the backscatter machines, never mind the recent scandals about medical radiation overdosing.

As much as TSA employees are everyone's least favorite workers right now (mine included), I think employee health is a much bigger issue than traveler health. They're exposed to the stuff all day long. I read in a non-reliable source, and haven't bothered to verify, that they're not even ALLOWED to wear dosimeters, let alone provided with any. And of course the law that created TSA stripped the workers of all of the usual employee protections.
