may I ask if the pat-down includes touching the private parts etc? i.e. how detailed is the pat down? Also with regards to the scanners I heard that the people monitoring them are in another location and the face is obscured??? How comes bro ibnmuhammad you have to go through both??? I'm figuring out that IF your face is obscured and the people are at another location the best option is going through the scanner which is less evasive than somebody touching me up. But people are saying that they don't touch the private parts but everything else??? I'm confused.
