18. Body Scanners.

I read a study that 1 in 1,000 people who are CAT scanned develop cancer in their lifetime. Radiologist's take this seriously and now some will refuse to CAT scan say a 10 y/o with a sports injury opting for x-ray instead. If you travel often and are scanned often what do you think your chances of developing cancer are? My bet is these scanners will eventually kill more people than a terrorist.
