100%. I always ask for the pat down instead just because it annoys them. They make you feel like you give them extra work. Last time in YUL the guy tells me "you know...it's not a microwave"....i just said "call your supervisor I'm not going anywhere until I talk to him I want to file a complaint". The little guy was shocked. I explained to the supervisor that it is my right to refuse the pat down and none of his agents are allowed to comment on my decision.Rooster69 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 8:50 amThe people that sell the scanners, the authorities that want you to pass through the scanners and the people who work right next to the scanners all say that they are safe. Do you trust them? Screw that.
I always asked for the pat down. Privacy. And my witness, not their witness.
They apologized and I moved on.
Always file a complaint, don't give them 1 more inch of "authority" these clowns have.
