Well obviously not , plainly
However if you are made to go through the scanner , ( as was the case for several people in the above programme )
when you have not swallowed anything and are innocent of any drug smuggling ; then you might have cause to be concerned .

What does a small cupful equate to in terms of radiation ?
In any event , I was just curious

going out the airports are not bovvered about drugs altho the receiving country may be. Departure police arent that excited either
For mules or carriers or whatever entering, I thought they locked them up until they went to the bog. Bog outlet clearly not directly linked to the Thames
now, if you read the article Baz - watch out ! VLWI technology used.
( very long words indeed) -
MRI is magnetic ( that is what the M is for) - it used to be NMR ( nucular magnetic ) but a few with secondary school education thought the N meant radioactive.....
chest x raY is about 0.1 mS and a cat-scan around 7-10 - which is a hundred CXRs. Hiroshima - they dont know - the average was as low as 0.3 mS ( peanuts). They found the very 1945 neutron flux dosimeter a few years ago and there a was comment: this wouldnt have measured diddly squat.
Baths and I - sorry too literary - me n Baffs - would have received around 40G radiotherapy for treatment and that comes out to about 500 chest x rays - erm fractionated over a week - sorry in little bits over a week

It equates to a non-specific answer to a question that you plucked out of the air without any way of measuring the accuracy of any replies received.
If I was to say that modern machines expose one to less than a tenth of a microsievert would that help?
The same source notes that this is less than you would get from eating a banana.
The cup's not looking so daft now eh? :)

Hi Doug - I think it is a milli-sievert
isnt it the amount of heating in J (Joolz that is - yup as in Holland) in one kg of tissue. You zap it wivva multiplier (Q) n get Grays, just in case anyone noticed I referred to my own radiation dose as G and not S
[ the multiplier ( Q that is!) takes into account radiation which has the same heating effect may be more zappo-genic ]
so it is All Very Scientific until the very end step when the scientist in da orange glow suit and half moon glasses says - "oh why dont we bring it into the real world by multiplying by two or three ?" ( yeah Q again ) - "toowa free" I mean - damn I am never gonna get this damned Essex accent right
