Have you flown in the past week....if not then think again.

But again you make my point.....if the airport has the back scatter machine and you think that is to personal then you can opt for the pat down. However, I find the pat down just to personal so I will opt for the back scatter.

Your comment about the bus and/or is silly considering some of us fly every week for work...I have to make a living.
