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 brush the machine all the time - hell, I like to check to see how much force it actually takes before you set off the machine...
Perhaps where those circular reflecting markers are will cause the machine to automatically ring off, but the Magnometers will not automatically ring off at the slightlest contact...
