LGA DL terminal (D) now has 1xMMW in the leftmost lane. Wasn't in use yet but I'm sure it will be soon. SDOO by staying right, at least for now. (Precheck and SkyPriority are to the far right.)

I'm pretty sure this makes LGA the first airport to have both MMW and BKSX, right? It is my understanding that AA concourse D (?) has a BKSX. I'm wondering if this BKSX will stay or if it will be replaced with a MMW.
Location: Um...I don't remember. I need to check my boarding pass.

Terminal C has a MMW at each checkpoint now too. Easy to SDOO, stay to the right at each checkpoint.
NOS were not in use yet though.

The Australian Parliament passed the bill today allowing body scanners in Australia's international airports. All attempts to get an opt out provision failed.
No details yet as to if they will be primary or secondary (but even if they are secondary, they will be used far more then in the UK thanks to the way Australia runs "secondaries").
MMV with ATD. Looks like they'll be in place by November.

Ever since our first flight to Australia eight years ago I've been talking and posting about the contrast between the TSA and the low-key common-sense Aussie procedures.
LGA Central Terminal Building (also known as Terminal B), Concourse C (United and American Eagle) now has MMW.
Didn't notice it a couple weeks ago when I was there, and didn't actually notice if it was in every line, but they were directing everyone to the conveyor belts to the far right. MMW is on the right side of the aisle, WTMD next to it to the left. I was about to opt out when the guy just directed me through the WTMD because there was a backup at the MMW (the lady in there kept moving).
Hey all, first post here. I'm heading out of LGA on tuesday and was wondering if there are still WTMD only in the Jetblue concourses (terminal b, concourses A & B) as I have already had two ct scans due to kidney stones this year and don't want to expose myself to anymore radiation.

You have keep avoided the bodyscanner. Just go through the metal detector. You don't have go through the scanner. You can say "I opt-out" to the TSA. You don't want to get another heart attacks again.

By the way, welcome to FlyerTalk, stcatcs12.
Sweet, thanks so much for the response and warm welcome. I'm not much of a frequent flyer, but I've been advised to avoid the scanners. Aside from being a little bit creepy, they can't be too great for you.

Updates for LIH and DCA
I've been from one side of the US to the other in the past 2.5 weeks, so here are some updates. I've PMed our thread owner to update the first page.
1. LIH has removed the BKSX machine at the main checkpoint, but have installed two MMW machines. It used to be possible to self-direct at busy times to the side without BKSX, but now you better be prepared to opt out unless you like the MMW. The far right checkpoint (called #2 on the signs) was closed and I didn't walk down there to look at whether it remains NOS free.
2. DCA terminal B/C checkpoint for AA, VX and some US flights (gates 23-34) now has two MMW machines. It was NOS free in a June trip. This checkpoint is also being set up for PreCheck (at least for AA flights). I got the LLL on Monday, but no PreCheck love as they aren't officially offering it yet. It appears that the PreCheck will be on the far left, where there is a sliding glass door that leads to a WTMD only lane.
They continue to direct nearly everyone at SFO through the MMW in terminal 2, and my last departure there on Sep. 1 required more than 15 minutes to get my patdown. I was #4 opting out when I went through. The two women were cleared fairly quickly, but no male TSO would respond to the opt out requests. We eventually asked for a supervisor, which led to us being cleared soon after.
