It is well known that skin cancer is caused by cumulative radiation exposure including to sunlight. Anyone who has experienced skin cancer is at higher risk - NO additional exposure to x-rays is good regardless of level and can only be bad. Over 2 million people a year are diagnosed with skin cancer. Frequent travelers who have had skin cancer should never be deliberately exposed to to more radiation. Ask all the federal Department of Energy employees who now have emerging cancers when they were told all was safe 30 years ago. It is cumulative exposure not measurements of single exposures that count.
