It would appear that the emissions are 10 times higher. We understand it as a calculation error, TSA spokesman Sarah Horowitz said in a telephone interview.

"Rapiscan technicians in the field are required to test radiation levels 10 times in a row, and divide by 10 to produce an average radiation measurement. Often, the testers failed to divide results by 10, Horowitz said."
If I read that correctly, what was reported was 10 times HIGHER than was actually emitted. So... doesn't that mean they were safer than claimed?

Um, yeah. I guess I don't get the rub here? If they reported flawed results that were 10x higher than expected, isn't that good?
