TERMINAL DUMP!

This morning (2/14) at SJC Southwest Terminal. I was just hand-scanned, having opted out of the cancer machines, and just as I was going to leave the screening area for the gate, all the doors were shut as they reset the terminal.

Perhaps there was a passenger whose iPad they forgot to steal!

After about 20 minutes (it was very empty) they yelled "ALL CLEAR" and we could proceed to safety.

And here's an interesting development:

When I opt-out at SJC, they INSIST that I walk through the machine and they assure me that it's not on. I don't believe them, but I haven't been able to get the three-striper to approve. Has Anyone Else been through this.
