every time I go through TSA it says "anomaly detected" at my waist and I need to be patted down. I'm trans so... correct I guess.

For this reason, and for sexual assault survivors, and for our dignity, naked photography and pat downs should not exist.

You can opt out of the RapeScan. It doesn't get you out of the pat down, but it's something.

It also wins you direct scorn by the TSAa and an attempt at public shaming “We got an opt out. OPT OUT I NEED A MANAGER! You, stand over there and wait”.

At they very least you’re guaranteed no cellphone screencaps, fresh gloves and less radiation exposure whilst you’re stood at the machine and in the line waiting. Airports are still abysmal on privacy otherwise.

Hahaha yeah - it’s great that every time I fly, there’s a 1 in 3 chance that I’m outed to some sour faced stranger who will get to grope me.

I will take Amtrak for three times the travel time to avoid TSA.
