You bet yer bottom dollar they're bringin em in. Just saw a new MMW at Terminal A last week. Not sure when it will get up an running. Just follow this strategy if faced with having to choose between being irradiated by the govenment or being sexually assaulted:

1. Opt Out
2. State that your want your belongings to remain in view the entire time
3. State that you want the clerk to use fresh gloves from the box
4. If you have any kind of video or recording equipment turn it on so you can have clear evidence if you are in fact violated
5. Document anything you feel is inapporpriate, including location, time, and the clerk's name/badge #
6. If a complaint is warranted, submit it through the appropriate channels (which can be found on this website - anyone have a link???)
7. Don't hesitate to summon law enforcement if you feel something has been done that is inappropriate

Unfortunately, until this nonsense is reigned in by the courts and our country gets back under control, this is the best you can do. I'm sorry to have to tell it to you but this is what our lives have come down to - fearful cowards being bullied and harassed by an agency that wants to make us all terrified of a threat that is microscopic.
