Even after passing the object screening without setting it off, TSA will do a wand search without PC. This is illegal... in fact.. there are over 500 lawsuits in Federal court on this topic. The DOJ has been delaying the cases as much as possible because they know the government will lose.

I have always hated flying and now I have even more good reasons for refusing. But earlier this year I had to. When passing thru security removing your shoes was optional, you were informed that cooperating would "speed the screening process." I didn't remove mine, was wanded and had no problem. I was not aware this was alowable without probable cause.
