1. Suggests, as the most appropriate solution asConsiders passive scanners in the terahertz band (millimetre), which do not emit any radiation, and which do not provide an image to the operator, but instead a red or green light indicating faor as health is concerned, technology based on passive millimetre wave imaging systems, which do not emit any radiationmanual screening, to be the only acceptable technological solution from the point of view of health, passenger acceptance and respect for integrity;

Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Proposes, as the most suitable solution,Recommends to avoid active millimetre wave imaging systems using non-ionising radiation, which is not considered harmful ifeven when exposure remains below the limit values laid down in existing legislation; they may only be used when passengers are given adequate warning and are entitled to opt-out;
Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out that the technology based on backscatter x-ray scanning emits a low dose of X-rays. Clearly, any exposure to ionising radiation, however low, may have long-term effects on health due to the cumulative effect of radiation. It is therefore proposed that we avoid this technology, or at least ensure that allThis technology should therefore no longer be used, even when exposure is are asduced to the low asest possible for workers and passengerslevel;
