"the video claims radiation exposure is equivalent to a 15 minute airplane ride."
That's also the claim the TSA makes about the body-scanners in the airports, yet these are dramatically more powerful (to be able to see through metal). Google (image search) a bit "scanner van" and you'll see these things can penetrate multiple layers of steel (pickup truck bodies, etc.) with no problem. That takes a wee bit more power than looking through cotton jeans and underwear.
Don't forget about the TSA cancer cluster... or the fact that the TSA lied outwardly about the safety of the devices (stating the NIST, which doesn't perform product testing, tested the body scanners and certified them as safe).
