I'm getting mine next week - the doc explained his reasoning (not an official stance but why he things this isn't a widespread screening thing) that a chest x-ray exposed all your vital organs to the radiation and so should be limited to "only when necessary" but he does agree everyone >60yrs who smoked he offers them this every 5 years.
When asked about these backscatter xray scanners in airports - his answer was "they're not yet compulsory anywhere, so I'd opt for a pat down" (for the same reason)
