Reminds me of the Soviet Union's incessant microwave bombardment of the US Embassy in Moscow. Presumably it was intended to eavesdrop via the "Great Seal Bug" but as a possible side effect, US embassy personnel suffered from a high cancer rate (e.g., Thompson, Bohlen, Stoessel). Street X-raying may not be as prolonged, but for it to be effective in a drive-by, I imagine they may have to crank up the intensity.
