My children (ages 16, 10) will be flying in a few days and I opt-out of both screening methods (both airports have BKSX). The only way I would let them fly is if they go through the metal detector. Should we even bother?
Know your airport and know what NOS they have. You are right about a 50 50 chance so take it. As far as your daughter is concerned, there is no point in selecting her for the NOS becaue of her looks. The person viewing the image may or may not be male, and there really is nothing erotic or beautiful about the image.
