The anecdotal stories of 'radar-guns' in the crotch were of units ON and at very close range and long term chronic abuse. All radiation, hi and low energy, obeys the 'inverse square' law, changing the distance by a factor of 2 changes the intensity by a factor of 2^2 = 4. Kind'a like keeping a lit lighter in your pocket.
The referenced chart has seven ordered entries before the US cosmic-ray radiation is noted. Then there are 27 entries to 500 - 1000 mSv for radiation sickness due to acute exposure for a range of 5 powers of ten.
Radiation should be your last worry. Just like a dirty-bomb, if it was easy then everybody would do it. The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.

I know there is a natural amount that you are exposed to daily.....I just wonder about additional exposure that would be outside that "normal" and dare I say "healthy" exposure.
You know what they said about radar units and the location cops placed them when not in use. Still in operation and exposing the "body" to transmissions.
But I am thinking this device would not make it here for use on the public. That is still a search even if you are not touching someone. Same already goes for using infrared on a house to see how many people are inside. You still need a warrant.
