maybe if they offered me a paid alternative so i didnt have to have a 65 yr old guy to feel me up i wouldnt mind it. why not offer this option? have hot sexy girls feeling up guys, no ones gonna complain
Sadly, baggy fat guy pants are going to get you tagged also. They are certain you'd be hiding something in there.

as far as knee to crotch ill pass

so can someone tell me why if you are called for 2nd scan why they ALWAYS swab your hands? i'm pretty sure my hands didnt go set off the machine. i pity those in the bullet loading business who's hands probably have stuff on all the time. probably see the back room for a nice interview!
Don't they swab their own gloves after feeling you up? In addition to hidden "dangerous items" which they never find when groping, they are looking for ETD traces. Why do they swab your hands? They believe that if a second scan is needed, then they have to look even harder to find those explosives that you MUST be hiding, so therefore your hands are swabbed. What a freakin' waste of time and money.
