TSA to phase in new pat-down procedures at airports nationwide | Citizens for Legitimate Government: "'Passengers who opt out of advanced imaging technology screening will receive alternate screening to include a thorough pat-down.'

The TSA said passengers should continue to expect 'an unpredictable mix of security layers that include explosives trace detection, advanced imaging technology, canine teams, among others.'"
