pdogg Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The airport has also introduced a new body scanner, which, according to the AoT staff, is not mandatory to all passengers. I guess we have the option of the latex glove instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxpharm Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 They are already using these full body scanners in most large western airports (US, Canada, UK, Europe). It's actually quite fast and some passengers prefer this rather than a random pat down and then metal wanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepthroat Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I prefer them myself, although I've been getting migraines and all my hair and teeth fell out after my 4th time through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robislo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I just saw new scanner yesterday on 1st floor of BKK airport where I had my pre immigration check-up, but I opted to go through regular scanner. It reminded me of oversized microwave so I didn't want to take a chance. I'm young hansum man. BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXASMAC Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Whenever I fly out of Dallas, I get the full body scan. Also every time I get pulled out for a pat down. They first told me that it was the starch in my slacks, WTF. Happened when I was wearing shorts. They finally came to the conclusion that after the gastric bypass, the removal of all the excess skin from my stomache, and the 5 hernia operations, the machines just dont recognize all the scar tissue I have built up. Sounds logical ?? It doesnt happen in Houston, Detroit, Tampa or any other city I fly from, just Dallas. I think somebody in Dallas TSA has the hots for me.
