When children's heaps of Halloween candy are x-rayed, can't the radiation be venomous?
Answers: There is no danger.
The following is from a website which have questions answered by qualified medical personel who are experts contained by radiation and it's effects. This regarding the x-raying of food.
"QUESTION: If I place my breakfast, lunch, snacks, and marine into the x-ray screening machine at work, is this safe and sound when I will need to do this five times a week, times 52 weeks a year, for the subsequent 25 years? What long-term effects could this have?
ANSWER: Thank you for your quiz. Sending food items through a screening machine, whether at the airport or surrounded by your workplace, will not do anything to the food and the food will not contain radioactivity after it passes through the x rays. There are no short-term or long-term effects on the food or for you."

No. What are you thinking, that it turns the candy radioactive? If that be the case, any food surrounded by your suitcase that went through the x-ray at the airport would be noxious.
