I fly 200,000 miles a year. I don’t let the government dictate my freedom of movement nor method of same.

Soooooo, how do you do it then? I fly quite a bit too and I always "opt out" of the scanner, but it has never been followed with "Okay, just go on then."

I go through the scanner if they ask me to: moose ears and all. But if you have anything in your pockets — even a dime — you will get patted after the scanner.

I wear travel gear that includes integrated belts in the slacks (and zip-off pant legs for when it gets hot) and multi-pocket vented shirts (which I fill after security).
