I've never been asked at a check point although I was asked during my Precheck interview. I told them in general terms what I do for a living without being specific.

It's no secret. Maxwell outlined the questions pretty well in his post copied below.
In my interview it was.
How did you hear about the program? - Coworker ...
What do you do for a living? - I travel a lot ...
Have you ever been convicted of a crime domestically or internationally? (To which they already know the answer.) - No...
Do you have any questions? - No...
... and that was it. Quick and painless. I have no skeletons in my closet and I'm constantly being background checked for my work anyway. So it was really no big deal to me.
They take your photo to put on your card and fingerprint you and that's it.

LOL

Yes, I trust that in the nanosecond it takes me to walk through the NOS it will not be turned on. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of unfounded paranoia surrounding those machines. I opt out based on principal not for fear of radiation/MMW exposure. Plus it's fun to share my opt-out experiences here and compare notes with everyone.
And yes, as I was accused of earlier, I do have a working knowledge of radiation.

This thread
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/pract...hwhile-76.html has some other people's experiences in it.
Thanks for the link Maxwell. I knew there had to be a thread on it here somewhere.
