That's my point... Nobody has quantified nor qualified/disqualified what strengths of X-rays may or may not be harmful... I'm speculating on the experts' speculation


In the meantime, I'll take my chances. I race motocross, and I drive on the Los Angeles freeways, so I don't think X-rays will get the better of me, myself. A friend died of lung cancer last year, and she never smoked, nor lived with a smoker, and she was a fitness nut in perfect physical shape. If your number is called, that's it.
