Nope. It takes longer, exposes people to unnecessary radiation, invades privacy, leads to enhanced probability of property theft and leads to more pat downs (there are quite a few reports of many pat downs post WBI here on FT).

Since we have not heard any reports of travelers being forced to expose their sanitary products, I am sure that TSA is just either giving them a cursory pat down or no pat down at all - or WBI can't even see the sanitary products.
I really do not remember any episode of shirt removal on PV. Wow, just wow.
As for intimate pat downs, I know they are not happening, because WBI is about the illusion of safety, not real safety.
And since Star World is not TSA, I go back to stating that the manner in which "anomalies" are resolved post WBI remains unanswered.
