Liar, Liar, pants on fire.
I get wanded every single time with not a scrap of metal on me anywhere.

I get wanded every single time with not a scrap of metal on me anywhere Ahhh. Your name must be similar to one that is on "THE LIST".
If you write a stern letter to the Department of Homeland Security demanding to be taken off their list, you will get special treatment next time you fly.

Some people are just naturally magnetic. We had a professor at college who could not use a compass. They always pointed at him.

You only get wanded if you set off the detector or if you are acting like a smartass in the opinion of the TSA agent. Otherwise there is no reason to send time wanding you if the primary detector didn't go off.
While I now seldom get wanded, I have gotten my gear swabbed from time to time. Most recently in the jetway just as I was boarding a flight to the US from Italy. Guess I either fit a profile that day or they were doing a spot check.
