What did other passengers think about it? Did you have a choice of the machine or pat down?
Not sure what anyone else thought, but I didn't hear anyone complaining.
It didn't look like we had a choice. I didn't really see a separate pat down line, although I wasn't looking for one either. We were all going through the same line that split into several security checkpoints. If passengers did have a choice, it wasn't made clear, at least not to me.
