Your previous post:

It is likely that at the time you passed through security, during spring break, the NoS was being used by TSA as primary at the checkpoint your were travelling through. Canadians, as far as I've seen, are not singled out any more than anyone else. We're all (Canadians, Americans and others) subject to the TSA's insanity.

Thankfully the same insanity is not commonplace here...at least not yet.
Merci..

My understanding is subject to correction.. and my experience at the time at point of entry was there was alot of complaints as Canadians were subject to the Nudo-o-scans.. in fact.. there was media attention to the multi million dollar purchases of these virtual strip searches that see everything..

If they are doing the scans random now.. then great.. I'm glad TSA smartened up..

However, nude-o-scans remain.. even at random patterns.. so the virtual strip searches are occuring daily as we speak..

The bottom line point is.. as Canadians (not sure about the Americans.. as I assume that they don't undergo nude-o-scans.. but again I'm not sure).. is that Canadians are virtually strip searched everyday.

imo.. I neither agree or disagree with this.. in fact I don't think much of it.. We choose as a family not to make an issue of it.. I spoke to my wife about it.. and she doesn't have a problem.. I don't have a problem.. so off to our vacations we go..
