But isn't 10 microSieverts over a 5 hour flight much better than 1 microSievert in the span on a few seconds? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_poisoning#

  For carcinogenic purposes (what we are discussing here), no. The fractionation effect only comes into play when you receive such a high radiation does that it can cause large amounts of cell death. Similarly, being burned (with fire) twice at low intensity is better than being burned once at high intensity, since your body can partially recover after the first burn.
