“1. BEFORE THE START OF EACH ROUND: the players and the Captains will walk through Xray frames (as in the Airports) at the entrance to the Playing Hall, while security staff will check their bags.”
If they are x-rays then players are being exposed to ionizing radiation, the safe limit of exposure to which is known – zero. Just as the medical profession are advising reducing or avoiding unnecessary scans.
As airport scans are controversial even when used in orfer try to to prevent planes from being blown up, it’s hard to see why they would be justified in a war on chess cheating, especially when there is a raft of other measures
