PIA has been using a MMW with ATR for the past couple months or so. I had the "pleasure" of opting out a couple of weeks ago. They have one WTMD and one MMW, but they were funneling everyone through the MMW.
Does anybody know if BMI has the MMW yet? They were listed in a press release recently that they were going to get one. I get to fly out of there next week and am hoping to avoid the MMW scanner.

Does anybody know what CLT looks like if you're coming in on an international flight and then have a domestic connection? After you clear Customs and go back through security, does that checkpoint have the <whole body scanner>s there?
Thanks,

MMW now at AGS. Sad day. 
http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/cr...s?v=1329235468
Only one line there and how this video portrays it just essentially being in line with the WTMD and conveyor belt is kinda sad. Seems like its going to be one of those everyone through kind of things.

Is terminal 3 at PHX still clear of BKSX? I'll be down there next week, then again in May. I'm flying DL, and am hoping to use T3 to avoid the choice between glowing in the dark and getting an amateur massage.

What's the latest in SFO, SJS, OAK, PHX, LAS?
I will be traveling around West Coast in April/May so i'd like to know which check points to avoid and which checkpoints are connected air-side.
I am not sure what airlines I will be using, but I think I'll be flying out of either PHX or LAS to San Fran (either airport will do) and from San Fran (either airport) to HNL.

So if you fly UA better to use T-3 if you have status.OAK is also accurate but sometimes you can self-select a lane in T-2 without nudoscope. Pay close attention.

PHX has back scatters in every terminal except T-3 where it's WTMD only.
T-2 is almost always back scatter only while T-4 can self select in the busy checkpoints.
LAS is populated by a lot of MMWs in all the terminals.

As Boraxo said, SFO T3 is safe, as long as you use the UA GM checkpoint or the UA elite checkpoint. The old AA checkpoint is infested with MMW.

BZN - SDOO?
Guess what I saw playing on the TV at BZN airport *just* after I landed:
http://www.kbzk.com/news/state-s-fir...zeman-airport/
They claim passengers can still choose to use the metal detector - guess I'll find out if that's true when I leave in a week. Otherwise I'll be stuck on quite a long greyhound bus route to get home. :-(
For a while tsa.gov was posting all of the places that would be getting AIT, but they didn't for BZN... Is that no longer a reliable source?

Not sure about DAL, but Burbank has two MMWs at the WN checkpoint. The AS checkpoint is still WTMD only. I was thru there on 2/29 and the TSOs at the WN checkpoint were friendly, nice and in a good mood. Must have been the leap day.
I still get a kick out of the signs at BUR saying possession of marijuana is illegal.

Question RE MIA security
Hi All I am flying through MIA in July however I have read recent reports on tsastatus.net regarding the use of MMW at Concourse E. I am flying internationally through Concourse E is it possible if I can use another checkpoint at MIA and walk to the Concourse E gates? I know it may seem silly and unpractical(and unlikely), but I'd rather not go through those machines or get the invasive pat down if it came to it.
