I wasn’t aware of how much radiation airport X-rays emit:
In the several seconds the baby spent in the machine, the doctor added, he was exposed to as much radiation as he would naturally get from cosmic rays “” or high energy from outer space “” in a day.

Wow, I’m impressed. A federal screener bright enough to recognize a baby on an x-ray!
puja, mami, puja!
She’s a woman on the edge, she’s got a baby and is not afraid to use it.
The good news is the screener was an out-of-work chiropracter who read the Xray, diagnosed mal-alignments, and signed the kid up for a lifetime of adjustments.
