Didn't exactly read the whole article, but I'm pretty sure 1 in 30 million is quite the same chance as getting killed by a terrorist.
That would be the chance of dying from entering the machine once. Now factor that for every weekday that a TSA worker would be exposed.
Simple math shows that you exponentially increase your chances every time you walk through those machines, and I believe you used the number for when the machines are working at normal capacity. Its actually working at 10 times the normal capacity.
