I have my first flight under the "new rules" on Tuesday, and I will opt for the pat down, no WBI for me.

I was thinking of explaining that my doctor has instructed me to have no unnecessary radiation, and by the way I am immune-suppressed so please change your gloves, and also I have had medical treatments that have made certain parts of my body extremely sensitive, so don't press hard there or it will hurt and I might cry out in pain.

But maybe I like BillScann's "gay/lesbian script" better and will try that.

I am flying out of RDU for the first time in decades, so it is unfamiliar territory; I'll leave extra early. Should I bring gum and offer it to the screener?
