How do they stop sales of scanning equipment to people who want to do testing? You could easily buy them abroad, and do tests abroad.
Also, could you cite the US Code on this please. Thanks.
Not taken one through the body scanner, I’ve not actually had to go through a body scanner in quite a while at the airport. Just usual metal detector.
Anyway the point of my comment wasn't to re-litigate this. It's more that the original comment struck me as "can't the fox just guard the henhouse?"

Also, when radiation is blocked by matter, secondary radiation is generated. Since the composition of cosmic radiation is for sure different than the one found in other occupational settings, lead vests might or might not have the same effect. Also, the aluminium skin of the aircraft already has a similar effect. There might not be that much to be done practically.
It would be interesting though to let flight crew wear radiation badges.
