Eesh. Sounds like one hell of a bad start to your day.
I'm flying up your way a week from today and am debating my options:
- I don't care at all about my nekked body being seen by some random agent in another room, nor, really, about not all that identifiable leaked images were they to exist.
- I do have some concerns that although properly calibrated backscatter machines should be less radiation than the upcoming flight . . . I don't know how well calibrated those machines will stay. So next week I'd probably not consider a health risk to me, and with the amount I fly, also not much of one.
That all said, I do have reservations about the whole deal.
I'm tempted to 1) use some silver infused burn goop I have around to write Oh Baby! across my boobs, and go through the machine. Probably not clever. 2) ask for the enhanced patdown, and go commando with a skirt. Probably won't feign interest, though.
The latter concept is mostly to up the annoyance factor on the part of the agents, so they start complaining up the line.
Honestly, I think I'd prefer an option 3, of asking for a small room and then just stripping and performing a Charleston.
It probably all depends on how busy I am at work that day.
