The xray exposure is of no issue. I believe this is in the archives, and
that is where I remember this from. Try searching for xray. Kathleen

Subject: airport scanning and breastmilk


I have been asked by a colleague to post this request.  A mother is to
be away from her infant for 48 hours and will express her milk while
away.  She is concerned that the xraying of the milk as she returns
through airport security may cause a change in the breastmilk. Does
anyone know anything about this? To reduce the xray exposure do you know
if the xray you walk through is less than the xray your handheld luggage
goes through which may be less than the checked-in luggage is subjected
to?

TIA
Denise
