I agree with you.

I think all cancer patients have learned that radiation is accumulative.

Many of the young women in the breast cancer group I frequent have never
had any X-rays except dental. They certainly never had a mammos due to
their age. Only one or two of them had chest X-rays for scoliosis.

I do not like the scanning machines at airports. And sometimes an X-ray
is necessary. But X-rays are used too readily. And that should be
stopped.
