Agreed. My deep dive (reading the academic papers, etc.) trying to confirm that the TSA millimeter wave scanners are harmless came up with more questions than answers. If this tech uses the same spectrum then I'm giving casinos a +1 for potential cancer risk.
- Balgair 9y agoCan they see through leather? Yes, yes they can. What do you think they then do to your much thinner skin? This isn't rocket science.
- chc 9y agoThe most obvious answer based on the previous observation is "see through your skin," not "cause cancer." I think we'll need more to go on than that.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoGiven that they can penetrate it, it's very possible that they do nothing to your skin. You're right, this isn't rocket science - it's a blend of electrical engineering and biology.
