Super annoying. In BSL, LLA, ARN and HEL they had old metal detectors that seemed lightning speed in comparison.
I opt out of all but the old walk through metal detectors now. MUC staff continues to be friendly, warm, considerate, and understanding of my health issues when I say that I cannot use the new machines. FRA really varies with B and C being the worst (apparently B is a different company than A) Unfortunately I am still using FRA almost weekly.
A few weeks ago I had to strip in the private cabin at FRA; I actually had the police involved and they were really supportive, and the women who forced me to remove my shirt and my skirt and drop my underwear were actually almost in tears when they saw my post-cancer treatment body. Everyone felt really bad I think, and quite sincerely, and hopefully will be a bit more understanding of other passengers with similar situations. I have no shame, and if it makes them step back a bit and think next time, I am happy to lift my shirt and remove clothing to show them what lies beneath...
