See here. The FDA contest this here, but keep using volumetric calculations, which strikes me as a way of trying to strike down an argument by arguing against a separate issue. This usage of volumetrics may be fine - I lack enough knowledge about the absorption rates of various tissues to know. But it's not helped by various people (c.f. Janet Napolitano) lying about other elements of the scanners. So again, my trust is minimal. You are of course entirely correct that the amount emitted is much lower. The question is more one specifically of absorption over volume, which is not the same as total number of emission events.

But even in such a bad case, it's still a pretty low dosage, all things in spec. I'm not concerned about the radiation amount, assuming all things are in spec.
