There are two kinds of scanners. One uses low energy X-rays, the other uses microwaves. If you got the microwave kind, that would not add to your X-ray dose.

I understand pat-downs within the U.S. are by same-sex agents. This wouldn't be the kind of thing they would get wrong.

As though the gender of the agent had any relevance...
