        No way, i already worry far too much about getting certain conditions, don't need anything else to add to that worry.

        I agree that it's likely not a good idea of its not necessary. But could you expand on why you say it's a horrible idea? Too much unnecessary radiation? It something else?

        False positives or anomalies leading to unnecessary tests. Time money and worry.
