I had a flight from Palm Beach airport to Boston today.

There were very few people going through security at the time, half were sent through the naked scanner machines and half through the metal detectors.

I was in the line for the naked scanner, a woman was telling us how safe the machine was the whole time I was waiting, telling us it was much safer than using a cellphone, just going on and on about how completely safe it was.

When it was my turn I told her my doctor said it might cause cancer so I didn't want to go through the machine. She says my doctor is wrong and starts telling me that I should do more research and goes on and on about its a new machine and its much safer than the old one.

Finally i said OK can I just get a refund for my ticket because I'm not going through the machine.

She says she will call over a male agent to pat me down.

The male TSA agent pats me down, he does the most thorough search I ever had in my life, I had short sleeves on and he was touching my arms and hands and touching my watch.

I was on the fence about driving this time because I hate dealing with the TSA, next year I will drive for sure.
