I was going through BWI the other day after 7 pm. With all the added security, I try to avoid peak hour travelling and opt for later flights. As I go through the metal detector, I make a crooked walk through it, the TSA officer says to walk back and try again. I do and this time it's accepted, she then asks me to go through the Body Scan, at which an officer there says I've been randomly selected, do I know what it is, what it does. I reply yes to all of his questions. He then gives me an option saying I can have a body scan or for an alternative, get a pat down from an officer. I say yes I would prefer the body scan. All of this took probably a minute, which is good for me because I don't like my stuff waiting in trays possibly being swiped by strangers.

Question for the board is would you take the pat down or the body scan?

I personally would take the body scan because being pat down by a complete stranger is probably the most intrusive thing the TSA could do to me, and I've never had it done to me ever by the TSA. I've got nothing to hide and I don't really cares if my body image isn't deleted.
