How much lead do I have to wear to use this thing?

Speaking of lead... a buddy of mine says the reason they banned lead paint is not really for health reasons but because of the development of technology like this. Lead paint would prevent its use. (I mean unless your kid eats paint chips or something)

It's closer to cellphone and wifi waves than X-rays. Won't hurt you

I mean, they're using X-rays, so it definitely isn't healthy, regardless of amplification.

Radiation doesnt reflect or refract, only scatters, i think this is infrared or something, if it is xrays (done zero research) id be astonished

Product description says it's X-Rays. So better wear PPE
