Just returned from a short trip to Vegas. I was "scoped" in Houston going to Vegas and again at McCarren when leaving Vegas. Quick. Easy. No one complained. Did not hurt one bit.
Let's see... if someone comments about their displeasure with the TSA screening with the Nude-o-scpoe, then it is worthy of comments. But if someone comments that they have had a positive experience with the TSA nude-o-scope, then it is being "dredged up"? Laughable, at best.
i can dredge, but not flame. I started getting frisked before hip replacement, but got dozens since 2009. Short story; can do either. I've noticed there are a couple kinds of scopes...LAS is different than ORD. I would chose either over frisking (up your leg until 'resistance'...what a concept) but they dont run all machines all the time. That makes me ill! Good Luck!
According to SmarterTravel.com, "The European Union (E.U.) announced this week that it is banning the use of X-ray (a.k.a "backscatter") body scanning machines over health concerns. Questions have been raised over the safety of using X-ray technology, which is believed to potentially increase a passenger's risk of cancer, as a means of passenger screening."
