I used to refuse the scanner every time. I now have TSA Prime and don't have to anymore. When anyone asked me why I'm refusing I always made sure to give them as one of the reasons that I'm concerned about the TSA staff being exposed to radiation and the fact that they are prohibited to wear dosimeters. Makes it really hard for them to dislike you. Several got much friendlier after that.

  I'm guessing they mean TSA Precheck. It's basically a little background check that allows you to largely skip the screening process.

  I mean TSA Pre. I just like to call it "Prime" as a joke.
