For the record, these are not X-ray trucks, but gamma ray trucks. I worked on a similar truck scanning deliveries to a military base. This was over ten years ago and they cost over a mil back then. Very little concern as to health issues as there is little leakage of radiation.

The danger from these trucks is likely very minimal, but as far from a tin foil hat conspiracy type as I am, the "I'm with the government, you can trust me" thing does not fly either. Q's refused so far are seemingly straight forward and could be answered without OPSEC issues:
The NYPD will not reveal when, where, or how often they are used.
Here are some specific questions that New York City refuses to answer:
*How is the NYPD ensuring that innocent New Yorkers are not subject to harmful X-ray radiation?
*How long is the NYPD keeping the images that it takes and who can look at them?
*Is the NYPD obtaining judicial authorization prior to taking images, and if so, what type of authorization?
*Is the technology funded by taxpayer money, and has the use of the vans justified the price tag?
Do those seem unreasonable?
