    They can have at it. I will log it as it happens. I have nothing to hide. You want to scan the truck go for it.

    The yellow things you drive through at the scales and border crossings are radiation detectors. They wont hurt you. They just pick up radiation. You ought to see the panic they cause at the border when they go off LOL

    I've gone through the x-ray machines many times. Only once have I remained in the truck. They had me pull up past the drivers part of the cab and then started scanning behind me. I wasn't happy about it but they assured me the scan wasn't hitting me with radiation. I don't trust them and didn't like the situation one bit. The rest of the times I've been out of the truck and that doesn't bother me, x-ray away. My electronics have never failed after a scan. It boils down to you will comply or you won't be driving. You give up a lot of your rights when you get a CDL.

    All the truckers hair will start falling out. In about 6 months there will be 3 million bald truckers driving around.

    TexasNana? Is that you? I didn't recognize you without your hair. :)

    I dont care if they x-ray the truck. I understand we lose alot of rights being out there,ie searches,etc. Personally I would like to be told if theyre going to do it, so I can get out of my truck. I like my hair.
