The medical staff had to take health physics courses and receive state certification before being allowed to use x-ray machines on humans.

The cop took physics in high school and got a 'B'. Oh, wait, no, that wasn't physics, that was physical ed.

Also, the medical staff are irradiating you for the direct purpose of aiding you specifically. The police are irradiating you because they've decided you are by default a suspect worthy of search simply by virtue of passing by - the benefit you receive in return for any health risk is debatable at best.
