I seemed to be cursed on this trip, as on the way back from Maui I got "randomly selected" for a pat-down, for no reason at all! Grr...
Did it look like two large blue boxes that you stood between, or did it look like a large tube that you stood inside? If it was the former, then it was a backscatter X-ray scanner; if it was the latter then it was an MMW scanner.
