Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Proposes, as the most suitable solution, active millimetre wave imaging systems using non-ionising radiation, which is not considered harmfulsafe if exposure remains below the limit values laid down in existing legislation;
Amendment 24 #
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 all exposures are as low as possible for workers and passengers; for passengers during a body scan are lower than during a flight and that workers are adequately protected;

Calls for, in respect of the use of X-ray body scanners (paragraph 3), special treatment to be given, especially to passengers who are sensitive to ionising radiation (e.g. pregnant women and children) and to those who refuse on principle to undergo body scanning. Exemptions should also be granted to those with implanted medical devices (e.g. pacemakers and defibrillators);
