At OSL, often as it is at ARN and CPH, checks of passengers' bodies (if the passenger alarms) is more commonly performed by same-sex-as-passenger screeners than by opposite-sex screeners. If men want an opposite-sex screener doing their rub down, then note that alarming the WTMDs comes with higher chances of this at OSL than at CPH, with CPH having higher chances of this than ARN. If women want an opposite-sex rub down, it's generally considered far easier to arrange that than going to an airport and alarming a WTMD.
