The Transportation Security Administration will soon begin testing airport security officers to see if they're exposed to dangerous levels of radiation while working with scanning machines.

The TSA will check screeners at more than 100 airports.

Critics of the agency want it to also conduct independent studies of the full-body scanners to make sure air travelers aren't being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.
