Also, can they see things like if someone has, as I did (on my leg under my skirt) a surgical bandage or other non-metal lumpy thing? If they were going to be poking around, I would have expected that, instead.

I had hoped that the radiation would at least spare me the groping. Yes, as others have said, grrrr that I might as well have "opted out". At least then I would have seen them coming and had a chance to make eye contact and ask for clean gloves.
The radiation will not necessarily spare you the groping. There's all sorts of reasons that you might get handled up close and personal anyways no matter that you've been through the AIT as directed. What is even more troubling to me is that you would get handled on any part of your person w/o explanation or warning! Worse yet... expected to submit to this treatment without protest lest you be detained further!
