I got a super-duper special pat down last time I went through.

I've been doing pat downs, rather than the virtual strip search, since I've had too many medical radiological studies the last couple of years - and given the questions about regulation of both CT scans and thee machines - I figure better safe than sorry.

The first full pat down was very respectful - intrusive, but respectful. Full explanation before she touched me, touching only with the back of her hands.

The last one I had very brusque, no explanation, no warning, and hands run, palm toward me, from shoulder to waist straight across my breasts. Ugh.

Don't know I'm getting extra screening, but I did get special, unwanted attention.
