Having been a radiological controls professional in a former life, I know exactly how many RADs or roentgens or REMs are safe for members of the general public, (as opposed to “radiation workers” who’s jobs require daily exposure to radiation). The amount of exposure produced by these AIT machines is minimal to the point of nearly being undetectable, and pose NO threat. On the other hand aircraft crews, and daily flyers may receive enough annual exposure to cause a long term problem (increased risk of cancer twenty years from now); especially if they spend many hours at altitude each day.
That being said, the issue at hand is not the health hazards involved, except of course for aircraft crews; but the privacy problem. I’m relatively sure that the pervert watching the screen will soon become so inured to ogling folks’ privates that after the first few tens or hundreds he/she won’t even notice.
My concern is that they don’t become complacent.
