I routinely fly from Norfolk VA to Japan, via Dulles, and back. I have been patted down only twice, that was in Norfolk, and have never seen a scanner anywhere.
I have been radioactively strip searched or manually groped by TSA agents at seven airports from El Paso, TX to Boston, MA and from Pensacola, FL to Chicago, IL. And all within a two week period.
Perhaps you should consider that your situation may not be representative of the experience other travelers are facing.
Out of Dulles and no sexual touching pat downs, eh?
Well there’s a clue. Who the heck flies out of Dulles?
I’m not sure why you haven’t seen the scanners at Dulles. Norfolk does not have them yet but Dulles has them. Most airports have them.
Here is a list of US Airports with the scanners. Some have just been installed and may not yet be in use.
