Are you Egyptian, taking frequent trips to Egypt and live with a room-mate who posts on a blogs how easy it would be to bomb malls in the US? If your answer is no, then I wouldn't sweat it.
The only thing of concern here is whether or not they should require a warrant to do the car tracking.

If you are innocent, then you shouldn't be subject to this kind of search. Of course, the whole S&S thing with cars has always been a bit of a tug-of-war.
Just a thought though.... Don't X-rays cause cumulative damage to the human body? In other words, when you hop into the doctors office for that X-ray, they cover your child producing parts with a nice heavy apron of lead. I'm reasonably certain you don't get the same kind of coverage when you walk through the X-ray scanner or get bombarded by the ZBV's. Am I missing something with the application of X-rays here?
I feel like I'm headed towards a chapter in I, Robot with a touch of 1984.

Just to follow up, my response was in regards to the student's car being tracked, not the xray van.
Backscatter Xray tech is what they are using in the airports (no doubt youve heard about the scanners that "see through clothes" that was all over the news last year). The long term effects of these is unknown, but I'd be more worried about standing inside one of those scanners than I would be about some random van roaming around.
Speaking about the airport back-scatter scanners, here is what happens if you refuse to go through it:
