THIS thread, and they are thoroughly discussed elsewhere in this
forum).

P.S. I wonder if it would be considered a threat if you calmly
informed a TSO planning to pat-down you, or a loved one (and
you're witnessing), that you are a 4th-degree black-belt in
TaeKwonDo ?
If it looks like a big plexiglass booth, it's MMW.
If they want to to stand in between two parallel walls, it's backscatter.
