Yes each and every time because at 6' 8" my head is above the scanner detector and I get the dreaded yellow box on my head.
Will I now have to go thru a more "intimate" pat down?

In the past, I have been waved thru, asked to bend or bow so they could see my bald spot, err head or even asked if they could touch my head. I've never got the full pat down with the exception of when I asked the TSO to re-glove before touching my head, that is when he said I had refused direction and need a full screening.

This is with a gate pass a badged escort, an employee of the terminal vendor or the terminal hired private security firm.
Can't wait to test this...
