Let's take a look at the stats they give us, shall we?
The TSA released a public service announcement Monday with advice for travelers, emphasizing that the pat-downs are rare — involving 3% of all airline passengers — and that travelers can request that they be done in a private room.
Of the passengers asked to submit to a full-body scan, 1% have chosen to instead undergo a pat-down, which includes TSA agents using their hands to check sensitive areas such as the groin and bra area.
Since late October, just two LAX passengers have opted for the alternative pat-down screening — out of an estimated 80,000 to 90,000 people who daily pass through security, Parsons said.
Given only 2 people have opted out since late October <cough, cough>, and only 1% of people opt of NoS, doesn't that mean they have only put
200 people total through the NoS since late October at LAX? Or 5-6 people per day?
I admit I'm up way past my bedtime, but I think my math is correct....but then maybe not....I think they must be using some that 'new math' I never did learn, but luckily I did read 'How to Lie with Statistics' in grad school
