As an antiterror measure, the US government has deployed mobile X-ray technology to randomly scan cars and trucks. But the measure is riling privacy proponents.
For many living in a terror-spooked country, it might seem like a great government innovation: Use vans equipped with mobile X-ray units to scan vehicles at major sporting events, or even randomly, for bombs or contraband.

Wow. First off you have a bitter nasty tone that I don't really care for. Second, why exactly are you an xray expert may I ask? Third this technology is completely possible as it is similar to the technology already deployed in the full body scanners at the airports which in theory at least aren't over-irradiating anyone.
Your response to me seems like a hate filled joke, Now the question is why? Are you just the kind of person who gets off on playing like you know everything or can you qualify any of what you said?
About ZBV Military Trailer AS&E's ZBV Mil Trailer is a rugged X-ray screening system built onto a standard military trailer. With one-sided, Z BackscatterTM imaging, security officials can use the ZBV Mil Trailer for screening vehicles, containers, and other cargo for terrorist threats and contraband -- simply by towing the trailer past the subjects, or by remaining stationary while vehicles drive past the trailer. The ZBV Mil Trailer employs AS&E's Z Backscatter technology, which produces photo-like images of the contents of a container or vehicle, highlighting organic materials such as explosives and other high-risk materials.
But EPIC’s Rotenberg says that the scans, like those in the airport, potentially violate the fourth amendment. “Without a warrant, the government doesn’t have a right to peer beneath your clothes without probable cause,” he says. Even airport scans are typically used only as a secondary security measure, he points out. “If the scans can only be used in exceptional cases in airports, the idea that they can be used routinely on city streets is a very hard argument to make.”
Reiss adds that the vans do have the capability of storing images. “Sometimes customers need to save images for evidentiary reasons,” he says. “We do what our customers need.”
