TSA Body Checks
TSA precheck will not stop you from being checked.. I was wearing loose fitting clothing and was getting tagged every time. Switched to tight jeans and it stopped. Now my husband just started getting tagged in his genital area. Doing some research, I found that the scanners detect skin lesions, cysts, tumors or any anomaly in that area. Check with your doctor to make sure nothing is amiss and learn to breath thru it.

TSA Precheck won't stop a passenger from being checked, but having a PreCheck boarding pass does greatly reduce the chances of the passenger being sent to the strip-search machines and whatever follows (including "crotch-checks") from being sent that way instead of via the walk-thru-metal detectors
The TSA in parts is still into touching baby's/toddler's diaper-covered areas even when the WTMD alarm is not triggered by the child and/or child-carrying accompany passenger.

I realize now that I missed an opportunity. About seven years ago I was on a flight from JFK-LHR and Robert Plant was sitting in the seat behind me. We talked a bit, he was very nice. I could have asked him about this scene in “This Is Spinal Tap”. Much of that movie was based in real rock and roll craziness, but I don’t know about this scene.

You would be surprised at how many times I have had people with items in their pockets, underwear, socks, beltlines, and for those that wear them bras. These areas become a catchall for things - now, I have not had Derek Smalls come through, but I image nit would still go something like this video!
