Got you. I tend to agree, but you can’t get an intelligent debate on that show sometimes.

Kristin Powers is the world’s worse though esp when she happens to be hosting.

I’m traveling early on Thanksgiving Week, but I expect to be going thru security Atlanta early and delays. I plan NOT to go thru the scanners. I believe I have that right.

Has anyone opted out of being scanned? If so, what happened?

I fly a lot and have been lucky to avoid any problems this week. Next week may be different. They do plan to have police stationed at all the check points in all the cities I fly out of.

Go early, especially if you’re flying through a busy place like Atlanta.

There are two types of scanners. One of them, I don’t remember which, emits more radiation than the other. However, I doubt if the TSA will be calibrating them with the same degree of competency that would occur at a hospital. Thus, I’d suggest opting out.

The TSA I have spoken with seem to bepretty uncomfortable about it all - with the exception of one very loud, bitchy young agent in Boston the other day. She carried on in a very loud voice how she couldn’t go anyway on Thanksgiving so anybody who opts out of the xray won’t be going anywhere either.

Again, go very early. The airlines have overbooked all their flights so they’ll be bumping anybody not there when they start loading.
