I love you.

OP, did the screener have anything in his hand as he was patting your bare skin? Might have been some type of swabbing going on. Definitely sounds like there was some retaliation going on there.

FYI going forward, PBI uses MMW scanners which, based on the type of imaging technology they use, are inherently safer than backscatter X-ray scanners. The backscatter scanners are two blue boxes placed side by side, with you in the middle of a nuclear sandwich. MMWs are tall, gray phone booths that have clear paneling on the outside.
