It don't like it for me either. It is my understanding that she will have to go through one of these scanners. Our only other option is the invasive pat down. That is even worse. Do I have this right?
Where does your trip to America originate? At UK airports that have the whole-body scanners, there is no opting out. Either you go through it or you don't board.
