My understanding is that it is an either/or situation. IE, IF you
choose NOT to do the body scan, THEN you must get the pat down. One or
the other, no exceptions, or you do not fly. It may be that something
different is happening at Logan. Security there certainly has had its
problems over the years. I will be coming and going out of there in
the next couple of weeks so I'll get a look see myself to compare with
what is done in SeaTac.

I watched that video you posted. Those 2 Blonds really worked that
story up into a big deal. But if I am not mistaken the story was
covered by the Non-Fascist media weeks ago. By the way, it is pretty
normal for countries to weigh in on court cases that they believe
effect their citizens. The US does it all the time, and it is normal
diplomatic practice for the country where the court is located, to
facilitate access. The USA does it because we want the same access
when the interests of our citizens in other countries are involved.
You may not have been aware of this but you were also protected by
such arrangements formalized for military personnel in what are known
typically as "Status of Forces" agreements.

Real reporters and adult media take account of such things even when
it is a slow news day. But then they are not controlled by a foreign
robber baron, intent on overthrowing a sitting President thru
fostering a seditious Fifth Column of hecklers, impatient for Daddy
President to make all the problems go away right now.
