In reply to the discussion: Useless loitering leeches [View all]All three of us in my family opt out of millimeter wave screenings. (Once is strictly medically necessary - millimeter wave technology can destroy the functionality of CGMs; the other two are out of an abundance of caution because both of us undergo an extraordinary amount of medical imaging and are at high risk for a half dozen or so cancers. In theory there is no risk - but that's what they told my grandparents when my mother started getting annual chest X-ray rays as a child. We didn't know what we didn't know until it's to late to undo it.). That means each and every time we fly we get an invasive pat down.
My first thought when Trump said he was sending ICE to airports was that they might be used for pat downs. That might be enough to get me to skip the pat down.
