Pro vision scan at the airport

Farah • 👨‍👩‍👧✈️🛍
I'm 23 weeks and the airport security at London Heathrow  let me to pass through to PRO VISION SCAN even I  insist to do manual patch as what I've done in New York and LA but they said it's safe don't worry. Deep inside of me I'm crying and so worried. Is there anyone experience this scan?

I flat out refused to do the scan and requested the pat down. One guy laughed and told me it was safe. I told him to show me his medical degree. He shut up and got a lady to give me the pat down.

Research has shown that you're exposed to more radiation in two minutes on a flight than you are on that scan. And that the only way it could be harmful is if it's broken and emitting more radiation than it should.

With my first I told them no way absolutely not and they said it was safe and I still said absolutely not.  It is your right to be patted down instead of exposed to this radiation.  It's literally like taking an x Ray. Which has always proven not safe!

Tsa told me it lets off as much radiation as your cell phone does. So if your comfortable holding your cell phone.., it's fine!!! I went thru it twice

I recently flew out of Portland Oregon and I told them that I was skeptical about the scan and they gave me a paper that said that nothing that it does can hurt the baby.

I went through it twice early on. They said it was fine.

I highly doubt that they would put in machines that are harmful to adults, children, babies and pregnant women. If they did try it, it would be stopped, as it dangerous to people. So you really don't have to worry, if a baby can pass through it, then you can also mommy! Just breath, you are overthinking this!
