I refuse to use the WBI. So it's pat down for me. While I'm at it, I'm also now going to refuse to remove my shoes, since I'm gonna get the who shebang for declining the WBI.

I'm also going to try Bill Scann's tips. Sounds like fun.

Pat down. As others have said, it's over quickly and can't be stored. Make them work for it.

Question for the board is would you take the pat down or the body scan?
I think I'd prefer the pat-down.

I think so too. Are we allowed to bring popcorn to/through the CP?

Pat down, I'm too cheap to pay for massages, so I'll take the freebie.

Pat down. Either degrades me, but at least the pat down degrades someone who works for the TSA.

+1 Which is pretty much the exact opposite of BWI. ;)

Could probably have some fun too, like suddenly yell out

"DID YOU JUST TOUCH MY ... JOHNSON!!"

I would take the grope. And I would probably camp things up a bit too. Or maybe ask if I could pick the screener doing the groping. I can't imagine a TSO being super comfortable after hearing that.

Could I have that blond guy over there instead?

Or "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!!!!" Even more effective if it's a kid. :D

I'll take the pat down, not a fan of taking in any unnecessary radiation let alone taking it from the kiddie porn machine.

Definitely a pat down.

I am taking the pat down, as is my spouse.

My brother said he wouldn't allow his wife or small children in one of those machines no matter what and would rather drive.
