Why can’t we go through an X-ray machine (like the ones in the airport security) or something of similar technology to see live X-ray results?

Actual X ray is harmful if you do it frequently.

Airport security has never used X ray as the machine that people pass through. Those are metal detectors, or other more advanced (usually controversial) technology.

X ray at airports is used for the baggage. (Originally just carry-on but after 9/11 they started inspecting checked baggage also.)
