I would prefer if they did not pry into my life. As I have stated repeatedly, travel may involve a private family matter (I would rather not discuss that with total strangers) or my employer's proprietary matters (discussing that with anyone outside of the office is a "firing offense").

My preference is to have an audible alert. This way you know why you are being wanded. I also like the "second chance" rule in the US. However, most savvy travelers know how to minimize the amount of metal on them.
