The worse thing that can happen to anyone who refuses the full body scan is to be patted down.

It has happened to me at least 3 times and, although I don't like it, it is so quick, and so non-intrusive, that its really done before you even know it.

A woman always pats down women, and a man always pats down men. They wear gloves, and (at most) lightly insert their fingers around the inside of your belt (or whatever you have around your waist).

I guess you are not a frequent flyer?

I had to get patted down coming back from vacation--because I sprained my ankle (bad) on vacation--was wearing a cast--get used to it--it will be the norm in our free society.

It didn't bother me that much--in fact they were very apologetic about it.
