Had me pause to look at my shirt before I went thru again. One looked, laughed and thought it was cool. The other, who was about my size, said that he didn't want to see me naked and that the machine was for better looking people - not for me. He sounded pretty serious. Another came over and made a "joke" and said I should take the train. He then apologized and said he was kidding.

The whole thing left me with a W-T-F feeling. I'm fine with laughing about the shirt and discussing whether or not the scans see people naked, etc, with TSA. I actually welcome that. However, I thought it way crossed the line with a personal slam like that. Couldn't believe they were actually being that unprofessional. Well actually I could. It was pretty telling though. It confirmed to me that these things do show more than BB leads on and that they're probably more likely to put someone hot thru the NoS. I'm filing a complaint.

Big to TSA on this one. A lot of things could have been said. Personal remarks like that cross the line.

Super
Might also be because he figures you might be an opt-out when WBI becomes primary and he might prefer looking to touching. If that's the case, I don't have much sympathy. As they are quick to remind us, it's just a job, nothing personal, and remember, they put their lives on the line every day for our safety.
