The union asked TSA to provide workers with dosimeters, but the request was never fulfilled.
For those of you who don't know, Boston Logan is like ground zero for the xray backscatter machines. The TSA there is a well oiled machine, busy irradiating a very high percentage of airport travelers. It's one of the few airports where I routinely have to request a pat down since they rarely have that one line that is only being sent through a metal detector. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire Boston population starts to glow in a couple of years from all of the radiation being dished out at this airport.
