I'm sure all these health conscious road bikers will love being blasted with X-rays. Millimeter waves sound so much more friendly.

  They'll dismount and give the bike to the x-ray tech, of course. Besides they got a bigger dose in the scanner at the airport.

    Besides they got a bigger dose in the scanner at the airport. Radiation has cumulative effects, so that's a reason against it. You're right that they'd just dismount, though.

  you can let them get off the bike before x-raying them...

  The government already uses large X-ray scanners to X-ray vehicles with riders in them. The scanner manufacturers insist these X-rays are perfectly safe to use on humans even though they're strong enough to penetrate steel. Millimeter waves won't penetrate metal, so they probably wouldn't work on bikes.

  I don't think pro cyclists are particularly health conscious. They're performance conscious, which is a very different thing.
