I ALWAYS opt out of the nude-o-scope so I know I will be getting my perp pat-down.

Will they attempt to make me take it off? Because I will not do it.

When I passed through pre-surgery in LAS I was wearing a compression sleeve and I did not take that off and the TSA agent swabbed the sock and tested it for explosives.

Please advise on what to expect - thanks!
