My teenage daughter declined the full x-ray scan in LA, and was taken aside for a pat-down. After a brief discussion with the senior female officer (I didn't hear what was said), she was allowed to continue without the pat-down.
I declined the scan also, and was taken away for a pat-down. The gent at the screening point was quite professional about the whole thing, but his senior mate (who had to witness the pat-down) was quite peed off.
I explained my reason for declining the x-ray, and the first guy completely agreed with me.
