Do Not Question Freedom Radiation
Guys, you know that I’m not a scientist, merely a lobotomy raconteur, but to me this stinks to high heaven. The whole thing stinks.

I get why — if the TSA agents wear meters, it gives a suspicion that something could be WRONG to the traveling public — you know, like those people who stand in the sun for 5 seconds every few months have as much risk as those who stand in it 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I get it, I do. The public herd, driven by shallow media and a lack of desire to actually understand something, can be driven to high levels of senseless panic over anything like this, no matter how unsubstantiated.
There is plentiful stupid on both sides.
If no one is wearing a dosimeter, how do you know any panic about radiation would be “senseless”? What about the TSA agents themselves, isn’t the risk they run something to be concerned about, even if there’s absolutely no danger to anyone else? And even if those objections to your argument didn’t exist, a dosimeter badge can be worn under one’s uniform where no one could see it. If every TSA agent started wearing one tomorrow, “the public herd” wouldn’t even have to know.
Surely the dosimeter could be worn inconspicuously, inside a pocket or even on a lanyard inside one’s top.
Okay, I sprayed tea over ALL THE THINGS. AGAIN.
