Millimeter wave scanners use non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation similar to that used by wireless data transmitters, in the extremely high frequency (EHF) radio band (which is a lower frequency than visible light). The health risks posed by these machines are still being studied, and the evidence is mixed, though millimeter wave scanners do not generate ionizing radiation.

cool, maybe some of the 5g, antivax dorks will do something useful for a change

No, you don’t understand. 5G has the bad, socialist death particles, not the good, tough-on-crime white-hat kind that only targets antifa and inner-city youths.
