Am I wrong ?

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.
Sounds like some American bs.. To scan though house you would need pretty powerful x-rays. And X-rays are also harmful.. But seriously. Think if the nearest road is approx. about 5m away from your house. So how powerful that machine must be to see though your entire house if it is 5m away. Will give everyone around nice little cancer.
And if that kind of Van has really been invented I am sure it won't be used but only in extreme situations. Or by criminals most likely.
But sounds pretty ridiculous to me..

Well, I am no expert, but I gotta say this is false. X-Rays do not work that way. They can see through softer stuff, but they tend to have issues with harder objects, like bone, which is why they are used in medical analysis. In addition, it's not a good idea to go around beaming large amounts of radiation at people. Tends to cause health problems.

Well its being blown out a proportion as always. It is indeed real, but the van is mainly used where imports come into the country and on the borders to search the contents of containers and the like without having to open everything up and search through the gak. I saw it on some show about a month ago or so. Pretty neat actually. But yea Im pretty sure it wouldnt go through houses from the street. If it were that powerful, youd know when they were scanning your house, because suddenly your popcorn would be flooding the floors

Well, you americans can all enjoy your X-Ray cancer while I'm safe in my tin-foil house.
Who's laughing now? eh? They said I was mad to have a house made from tin-foil and lead! I'll show them...
Dave if they can see through the body of a automobile/brick wall.
They can microwave your brains through tin foil.

The ones used at airports can see through clothes but not skin. The ones used at hospitals can see through skin but not metal rings. (they make the staff use lead lined aprons, and wont xray pregnant women) so they're safe. What power are the van ones using?(It can see thru metal). But the goverment says they're safe The goverment wouldn't lie to everyone, would they
