The naked body scanners are SO GOOD that they cannot tell the difference between your necklace and a nuclear bomb, while often missing GUNS, hence the patdown. It probably depends on what they're smoking in the perv booth

I've watched plenty of patdowns done post AIT, and they are just as rude as an opt-out - they'll check your groin and waistband even if you have a nickel in your shirt pocket (??!!) what the heck, save yourself from the future cancers, and join my line.
