Pistole said that children under the age of 12 will not be subject to the enhanced patdown. Frankly that age should be changed to 18 or at least 16. I think that is one battle that can be won (i.e. up the age limit).

Also check your airport as many have multiple entrances to the terminals and not all have the nudi-scopes just WTMD. I tend to chose those entrances to avoid the hassles.
