I am a tall guy with wide shoulders - I have to walk through with my hands glued to the side of my thighs to make it through without setting off the scanner. 6'4" 225# with a 36" waist. I'd like to see someone a little larger in other places make it through without setting off the scanner. When a very slight brush of my hairy knuckles

do it, what about a little more heft from a cheek or something else?
I'm not as tall, but I'm a bit "rounder" than you and make it thru with no trouble.
