Well I have voted yes to this poll for completely unscientific reasons just so Medhead cant object,though I am sure he will.
Until last week I had been through 7 US airports without having to go through a scanner or have a pat down.Last week in DFW I entered a scanner but it wouldn't work,so out and through the metal detector.
Yesterday for the first time at MCO went through a working scanner-no problems.
Today at C terminal DFW I went through again but this time had to have the pat down as well.BTW not taken aside but done where you exit the scanner hence holding everyone up.The TSA agent was a very large African American-I did not get a chance to nominate sex of my Patter downer.He first asked if I had a knee brace on-yes,right knee only.So I got the lower body pat down.Then he asked if I had a large chain on-No.So he said he would have to pat down my chest which he proceeded to do.Then came the moment that convinced me we should never have these scanners-
"Oh,just your man coughs"Well!:shock::shock::shock:
So that's it.however why pulled up in DFW and not MCO the day before-really inconsistent which makes me doubt their efficiency.
And at both MCO the priority security line led to a scanner,non priority led to either a scanner or metal detector.So why do they make more frequent flyers expose themselves to more irradiation no matter how small,remembering that these people are already expopsed to higher levels just by flying.Now if we can prove frequent flyers eat more bananas then triple whammy!
