Okay, so I can see that the majority are clearly of a mind that xrays
cannot pass through the heavily leaded front of the picture tube.
What about the thin, transparent neck in the back of the tube?
Nothing much offering protection there, is there?



The glass there has lead in it too, but the anode is not there, it's at the
front of the tube. It's just not possible to get xrays out the back, you
can't deflect the beam back to there and there's nothing for it to strike if
you could.
