ABQ also makes it difficult to see your things while waiting for a groper when you opt put. I flew out of there on Feb. 27. I opted out and they asked me to step aside and wait close to the WTMD which was roped off. It took a while for the groper to come so I moved away from the minder and attempted to look at the x-ray belt as my things had gone through. There were large signs blocking my view and a large backup of people waiting for the nude-o-scope. I was yelled at to move away from the x-ray and come back into sight of the minder, and I yelled back I need to see my things and I'm not moving. After 5 minutes a female groper came by. There were now 6 people waiting to be groped. What a cluster f@#k. Glad I only travel through ABQ 2 times a year.
