Hi! Obviously, the specific science of the matter doesn't matter to me. It is an irrational fear. The machine is supposed to be safe and declared as such by people whom it is "not my job." > I don't like the pat-down.... NOBODY likes the pat-down. What I said is that I'm not bothered by it. I can tolerate it as an alternative of going through the machine. It is intentionally designed to be something you don't like, in order to encourage compliant people to just go through the machine. They create a relatively high stress situation (not enough flow and long lines) and the easy way out is to have people go through the machine as the fastest way out. > The stupid computer always flags the pocket I carry my phone in--can't tell the difference between a little bit of sag and something there. I would suggest changing clothes that you go through the scanner with.
