I travel a lot and see all these scary machines that emit radiation. Will they make me infertile?

Hi Lauren,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Airport scanners give out very little radiation. These machines are just looking for items in our clothes. They don't take a full Xray of our body or internal organs. 

Best,

Daisy
