Commuting/Jumpseating not in uniform
Obviously the liquids/food rules apply but I didn't know we were required to be screened in the cancer tubes. I always used to go through the regular metal detector with my airline employee id in what this referred to as "civies." Is this new? Wasn't going to argue with Mr TSA but I told him I thought he was wrong about that.

If your FOM permits business casual for positioning flights, you ARE in uniform. Get a supervisor, and offer to show them the text in the manual. If all else fails the phrase "Opt Out" will get permit you to bypass the electronic security theater for a good old "hands on" session.

I disagree with 9easy, do everything you can to avoid any extra radiation for the reason he stated. You only live once, and those machines are very new and many say are no healthy at all.
Just opt out and get the feel up, its what I do. They want to pat me down, go for it. Better than the nakey cancer machine.

Well supposedly they are phasing out these machines and moving to smaller airports(not much help to commuter/regional pilots).
