If its one or the other, I would IDEALLY rather just be patted down, but I hate people touching me that I don't want touching me. I get weirded out when in a line and the same person bumps into me more than once. So, I don't mind just doing the scan, its quick and nobody is putting their hands all over me, but w t f, I did the freakin scan, why am I still getting patted down? Oh, and the rest of you. pervs
