You are just lucky, trust me the luck will run out. 3 out 4 flights last week (all domestic) I chose lines without the new "naked photo, cancer giving" scanners, but was asked to divert to that line. Upon opting out, I was given the "new" pat downs. 2 of 3 times, I had major contact with the genital area. The TSA say they do not touch that area, they simply go up the inner thigh until they meet resistance. What the heck do they think they are resisting against, besides ones "junk"?
