    You'll probably get more on the way over there between x-rays and the plane travel itself.

    Not x-rays - radiation from cosmic rays not shielded by the Earths atmosphere due to high cruising altitude of aircraft.

    It's not that simple. Getting a high dose of radiation once is one thing, but the radioactive fallout was a totally different thing - you would be ingesting or breathing in particles that will keep firing for days or even years from inside of your body - this is why iodine tablets were distributed.
