geez, like the tsa has anything to do with a scanner! never ceases to amaze me how many real morons there truly are! think those republicans are going to accomplish anything with all the bickering and in-fighting? Duh!!!
The scan was quick when I had it the end of October…and at another airport, I also had a female check me because they didn’t have a scan. She was aware of potential discomfort the check could give and explained what and how she would do each check before doing it. She used the back of her hand next to “sensitive areas”…no groping or fondling was ever done.
The scan is quicker but I don’t like the radiation even if it is minute but will choose the scan anyway when given the choice.
I think I wouldn’t worry about the MMW (radio-length waves) scanners, but the X-ray backscatter ones would worry me more. I also just heard that new software may make the images more of a stick-figure. (Wonder what kxcd would make of that?)

I bet he was happier to go through the full-body scan than to have Frank “touch his junk.”

I don’t know if it’s because of all the Flomax or my husband’s just marking his territory.

Always use the Buddy system, that way you have a witness if they try anything funny.
