Continuous screening is one of those evil TSA phrases that strikes fear into my heart.

Even if you strip down to your undershirt, wear tight revealing clothes, remove your shoes, socks, and jewelry, and keep your head down silently like a good convict - I meant passenger - you can get selected for an intrusive patdown of your sexual organs by a stranger.
In fact, the man running the show could easily select the young and pretty girls with large breasts for "continuous" screening just to get his jollies, and there would be nothing anyone could do or say about it, because there are zero criteria for getting continous screening.
There is one way to lower your chances of getting sent to continuous screening: don't enter a screening station that is completely empty. Just sit and wait for a line to form, and then get in line. The first person through the station is often sent to secondary, as arbitrary as that seems.
