Radio news - the current level of radiation while flying on a plane is equal to a chest xray.

Why don't they give us lead aprons instead of pillows?
Responses:
it's like 0.4mrem/hour of fly time, a chest xray is 5 or 6. either way you've got a couple hundred hours of fly time or a couple dozen chest xrays

It's not the amount of radiation that is concerning, it's the intensity.

well, apparently this is the 'current' level; it has been increasing over the years.. even more so with the recent sun flares. -- nm
