What's an RPD?
I almost always get sent to secondary inspection as I always refuse to use MMWs. But I've never been ordered to a private room. Then again I've never set off a positive alert on the bomb detector.
I am not sure how I would handle OP situation as most of my international trips are tightly scheduled for essential business meetings where missing the flight is not an option. I think I would ask for LEO and if that was denied I would ask them exactly where they intend to search. And then threaten to drop trow in public if that was the area of interest. My fallback would be MMW. I don't think TSA has the right to do body cavity searches on a whim.
