I don't know what the hell all that says, but I do know that:

** Screening area begins at the ID-checking podium

** Proceeding into the screening area means you are consenting to comply with TSA procedures

** TSA procedures change all the time and you cannot anticipate, control or argue this

** When you encounter a procedure that seems to depart from official TSA policy and argue the point, you may receive punitive treatment including patdowns

** You do not get to choose between nude-o-scopes and conventional metal detectors - the choice is made for you

** Attempting to opt out of both new-gen scanning, when you are chosen for it, and an invasive patdown equates to noncompliance with TSA procedures, and there are sanctions for this which may include arrest and fines

That's all the OP needs to know, really.
