I took a flight out of LAX after Easter and they had the x-ray scans there. I'm not sure why but I thought if they had them, everyone would be forced to go through them. But no, they were very randomly pulling people out--so some people went through the regular metal detectors and others in to the scanners. It seemed like they were just pulling people in to different lines to keep the lines moving. There weren't any sheetheads around me that I noticed; it would have been interesting to see where they were directed. Honestly, if everybody just had to go through the damn things, profiling wouldn't even be an issue.
However, when my turn came I was actually debating if I'd opt for a pat down over the stupid x-ray machine. I wasn't so concerned about the privacy part but it is sort of a demeaning process. Everyone can see you and you have to stand there with your arms up (think "I surrender") and it takes a while. I thought you'd be in and out of there within seconds but that's not the case.
Fortunately, I was directed in to the regular metal detector line. Fuck LAX--I hate that damn airport anyway. I usually fly in to Long Beach; next time it's back to Long Beach.
