Thanksgiving, both my wife and I got selected for the scanner at MSP (Minneapolis). My wife thought it was interesting to get scanned. I didn't mind, even when my loose jeans caused an alert on my right ankle, which got patted down by a TSA person. It was seriously no big deal. They're using the microwave scanners, not the x-ray.

I think once you've gone through a childbirth or two, especially if it was in a teaching hospital where they bring in seven interns to stick their hands up the, um, "birth canal," you really lose all inhibitions.
