          None, people are just weirded out by the millimeter wave scanners. They think the workers get to see their genitals.

            The workers were able to see your genitals, they just claim that they don’t now but we have no real evidence to confirm that.

              I’ll let them take a picture over getting the, “It’s not gay if it’s TSA” uncle touchy treatment though

                Yeah if I’m quick enough getting my shoes off so we’re all together, I can go through the metal detector with my wife and kid since they almost always let the kid and parents use that over the mmWave machine.

        And get rid of the pornoscanners.

        Domestically in the USA you can skip those if you have TSA Pre/Global Entry. You only have to walk through a metal detector with those.

          And I think you can request to get felt up instead of digitally undressed. It’s up to you which is more palatable.

            Even in that case you can opt-out and take a pat down instead. So in every situation you can avoid the pornoscanner, if you so desire.

      If it’s to avoid the cancer box, I’ll take the feel-up. I’ve been in Basic. I no longer have shame.
