2. Opting-out.

They are putting everyone through the nuke scanners which take a scan of your va-jay-jay and boob outlines. They try to tell you that you get no more than a five second radiation exposure, which is equivalent to using your cell-phone, but there is nothing about government operations these days that I trust. I live in a community where the city colludes with good ole boy networks, against the rights of the homeowners so I don't trust anything that any government entity tells me.

So, I opt-out. That means I allow a female security to pat me down. She will put on gloves and run her hands over the clothing, under the hair around the neck and then swabs the gloves with a cotton swatch which is then placed in the machine. If the machine lights come up red it means it picked up a substance that is forbidden. (I'm guessing explosives and/or gun powder.) If it turns green, you pass. In some ways, it is more intrusive and you would think it would be the end of any questions, which is why it makes additional searches highly questionable.
