As a woman who travels alone frequently, and who doesn't want the extra radiation of the NOS machines, I am really worried about what my rights are and what I can reasonably expect to do and have happen to me if I don't want to go to the private room. Does anyone know?
Always get them to put on new gloves, from the box/dispenser, not from a pocket.
Always get them to swab the clean gloves before they touch you or anything else.
Try to avoid the things you know will alarm (ie: no glycerin hand cream, fertilizers, etc). You can't avoid everything but one would hope you could limit the likelihood of alarming.
