  Ugh I hate people that work at airports. They are so friggin crabby. Is she even allowed to ask why you want a pat down instead? You should have thrown an ounce of the tummy butter at her face and took the 3 ounces with you.... hahah sorry.

  I'm sorry. That sucks. I did hear that it is suggested you get a pat down. I actually just read it in the Girlfriend's Guide to pregnancy. Don't worry about her attitude. It's probably because she doesn't like her job. Just know you're going in vacation a

  They are not supposed to ask you why.
  I personally HATE those full body scanners and always opt for a pat down. The 4 times I have gone through them I wasn't asked, I wasn't treated differently, and when it was a male working, he first asked if it w

  You are probably one of the few left that still thinks they can hurt your baby.   The liquids rule has been the same since 9/11....everyone knows that.

  Add me to the list of the few then too. I would demand a patdown as well. But hey, at least you can bring a knife on the plane.

  The full body scanners are safe. I still understand if you don't want to go through them though, and TSA workers are not supposed to give attitude because you ask for a pat down, but they can ask why you want one. 

  As for the liquids, you al

  There would be big signs in the airport warning pregnant women not to use the machines if they really weren't safe.
  
  And I don't really feel bad about your lotion getting tossed. That's been a rule for 12 years.

  I just went out of the country for a week. I talked to my doctor and the people at the airport. There is little to no risk going through security. I went through them. Baby and me are still fine!

  I know it can be aggrevating but they are doing their job. They are dealing with hundreds of people everyday and it is understandable that they have to make no exceptions and apply the rules all the time. Also it makes sense that they ask you why you want

  Eh, there are conflicting studies about the backscatter's safety and I, for one, don't take the word of the company that makes them as solid gold when it comes to how much radiation they give off.

  The backscatter doesn't make anyone safer. They give people an illusion of safety. In order for them to actually do anything everyone would have to go through them. Their use was always random at best, TSA stops using them at peak travel times, and in mos

  The amount of radiation you expose yourself (and your baby) to while actually in the air is more of a concern than walking through a full body scanner. And flight attendants'/pilots' kids aren't at a higher risk for badness, I don't believe.
