Except this time it's coming from the DHS instead of the TSA. I guess variety really is the spice of life (or that could just be a mutation in your taste buds causing air to become spicy).
In another classic "one-two" that we've all come to know and love from our government, the DHS has started using a new kind of scanner at border crossings. Never fear, though, this one is safe because its radiation dose is only about "three times the average energy in CT [scans]". This, of course, coming in on the heels of a new study which suggests that CT scans are more dangerous than previously thought.
