Chinese Body Scanners that uses Anti-Scattering X-ray radiation

The state-run Xinhua News Agency reported late Thursday, citing an executive at the product’s manufacturer.
The Chinese have done it again. Copying Americas Ideas, while endangering our safety.

The scanner can automatically delete personal information when it completes its task, the report said, citing Jia Zhong, general manager of Tianjin Chongfang Science &Technology Company.
Full-body scanners deployed in airports have proven a lightning rod with certain sections of the traveling public in the U.S. since the machines can see through people’s clothes. The devices have also come under fire over concerns about radiation exposure.
The Chinese scanner has also solved the radiation issue, according to Xinhua. **Not true. They still use X-ray.** The X-ray radiation the device emits is “negligible,”(Bull Shit) the news agency said, equal to one-thirty-sixth of the radiation a airline passenger is exposed to when flying from Beijing to Shanghai.

Would you trust Chinese X-ray when it comes to your health? When is X-Ray good for the body?
The Chinese body scanner “uses an anti-scattering X-ray mechanism to detect nonmetal objects such as ceramic knives, explosives, drugs, plastic weapons and liquid bombs,” Xinhua said.
The report didn’t say whether China’s government is explicitly backing the project, but it said the body scanner has “independent intellectual property rights” and its maker plans to deploy 1,000 units each year in a variety of venues including airports, railway stations and customs crossings. Xinhua said a group made mostly of experts from Beijing’s elite Tsinghua University developed the body scanner, which was exhibited at a seminar in southern China’s Guangdong province this week.
This isn’t the first time Chinese scanners have made headlines. In 2009, Chinese censors blocked online search results and websites mentioning Namibia after anti-corruption officials in the African country began scrutinizing Nuctech Co., a Chinese company linked to the son of Chinese President Hu Jintao that had sold cargo scanners to its customs agency. Hu’s son Hu Haifeng wasn’t a suspect, but he was questioned as a witness.
The Chinese public’s relatively resigned attitude towards government monitoring may help the new body scanners avoid the public-relations disaster that accompanied the unveiling of their U.S. counterparts. There’s no guarantee, however, that new technology will experience commercial success, even with the benefit of government support.


The American company, Rapiscan Systems also makes a Back-Scatter body scanner that is TSA approved, However It still uses X-ray. The radiation exposure in perspective. According to TSA, the amount of radiation you're exposed to during a two-second millimeter-wave scan exposes you to radio-wave radiation that is 10,000 times less powerful than radiation levels that pulse from a cellphone. A backscatter scan exposes you to the same amount of radiation you would experience during two minutes of a cross-country or ocean plane flight, thanks to cosmic radiation in the atmosphere. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP), a traveler subjected to at least 2,500 backscatter scans a year would barely reach the Negligible Individual Dose. In same report, NCRP found that a traveler subjected to at least 2,500 backscatter scans per year would barely reach the Negligible Individual Dose.

The millimeter-wave scanning is the safest for people. L3 an American company, has took the body scanners to the next level.  They produce the safest body scanners with NO X-Ray. Currently, there are 200 millimeter-wave scanning machines already in use in 50 U.S. airports. They are used as either the primary screening machines that passengers walk through, or more commonly, for secondary or random screenings. The other type of body scanning that has been tested by TSA uses backscatter technology, which does produce small amounts of ionizing radiation by using extremely weak X-rays. After testing them in a pilot program, the administration has 150 of these machines on order, and they will be deployed to U.S. airports in the coming months.
