As for the sterility issue, thats minimal I would be more worried that frequent fliers who do get scanned would have a higher risk of cancers, also there is a known link between millimetre wave radiation and increased tumour development. (In other words any tumours have accelerated growth.)
Unless there is an increase terrorist threat at the moment UK airports do random scanning.

Ok, increased terrorist threat and reacting to it is ok... I can deal with that when and if it happen, maybe! But like how often are planes hijacked nowadays? How often within the last few years?
I don't like playing about with radiation and stuff either. Dodgy dodgy.
