Re: Effect of Airport X-ray

[P3D Colin Moyer <cmoyer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi there, I am new to this discussion, but I have been following it for a=
 few days with some amusement.  I find the airport X-ray discussion=
 fascinating and thought I would add some thoughts to it.
        When I was in grade seven, I entered my school's science fair with a=
 project on radiation.  I made a home-made radiation detector (it was in one=
 of those "Amateur scientist" sections of Scientific American) from a tin=
 can, some tin foil and dehydrated drywall.  To my surprise the item in my=
 house which had the highest levels of radiation emitting from it was my=
 parents toaster.  It was old and was a wedding present, G.E., I think. =
 Upon my recollection, I think it had a glow in the dark dial.  All of this=
 proves two things, One: irradiated food is actually safe (I am living=
 proof), and Two: your film is NEVER safe.  I personally stuff my film (ASA=
 100) in my lead codpiece wherever I go :-).
