They immediately said why and why are you worried about something that gives less radiation than a cell phone.
I basically said politely that it is because I went to school for 18+ yrs and have a MD after my name that I don't want to argue with your logic.

Did get a very agressive pat down. Guy was basically hitting my scrotum quite hard (they do it 4 times) and I said you need to be careful here. He gave me the DY...T routine and I said thank you and walked off my pain.


I wonder if it is worth flying any more now.
I would strongly encourage you to lodge a complaint with the local police department and county attorney. Coming from an M.D. this would carry more weight than if from most of us.
