Because their operation is just pushing a button. They are not responsible for the safety protocols, etc. That is somebody elses job.
Like if you dont like the machines fine, but their safety (or lack thereof) has nothing to do with the TSA agent.

Your safety and exposure risk is held to the highest standard of "not my job." > "I was just at an airport, watched someone move a bit, and have to get immediately rescanned again." Do you blame the individual for moving or the agent for not being clear enough in the instructions?
- bawolff 2y ago> Exactly my point. Your safety and exposure risk is held to the highest standard of "not my job." I mean, not their job in the sense that they cannot meaningfully affect it. They cannot make the scan be any more or less safe. If its safe, they cannot make it unsafe, if its unsafe, they cannot make it safe. They have no control over the safety of the scanner.
