We avoid them every time we fly. Sometimes that means opting for the uncomfortable pat-down, but it's definitely worth it. I hope we wise up and quit using them.

Very glad to hear that you guys frequently opt out.... I know how much you fly! I agree with you that we shouldn't use them.... I'd like to see the entire TSA abolished.
