admittedly cannot speak to current OMA conditions...I flew through there in late August, but backscatter was in place.

There seemed to be some measure of training going on and so they were pulling out people before they got to the machine for the patdowns. Do not remember if they had the WTMD in use or not.

The patdowns at that time were consistent with what I get when I enter a Texas prison to meet with a client (Texas ramped up their entry processes for employees and visitors in wake of the cell phone issues a few years back) and were consistent with a Terry frisk. It was NOT the groping that seems to be more and more commonplace.

I do not know if I would have had a different patdown had I opted out (which I had PLANNED to do before the random selection).

The reason I believed it to be a training day was the sheer number of smurfs that were around and that verbal instruction was being given related to the pat process. It was also the first time I had encountered a domestic situation where all pax had to show ID a second time as they went into the ramp tunnel, again with what looked like trainer/trainee staffing levels.
