Unfortunately, Sarasota (SRQ) needs to be taken off the list of alternatives to Tampa. Relatives of mine observed two MMW machines at the checkpoint late at night upon arrival last Sunday. Not sure if they are in use or just installed.

hi, for airlines serving asheville, nc AVL you can add CO. they fly from asheville to houston and nyc, (among others?) so can be helpful for those wanting to avoid CLT.

I don;t understand the concern about these machines, but to each his/her own. I personally would rather go through one of these any day rather than recieve a pat down. I've actually seen the images the machine produceand they look nothing like the ones some internet sites produce. The people look more like casper the friendly ghost.

Aside from the 4th Amendment implications, the machines just aren't proven safe.

NoS coming to COS in late 2011 or early 2012
It will take a while, because they have to spend millions of dollars re-constructing the checkpoint so they have room for the new machines.
The project is... "expected to be partially completed before Thanksgiving with the work entirely finished by early 2012"

On the negative side, several of the screeners there yesterday were much more surly that I've ever encountered at SRQ
