I just returned from the States yesterday. On the way to it I had to go through the body scanner
Which airport was it? Does anyone know of some site that has an up to date list on which airport&terminals use them? I'm going to the US next week, and I'm curious. Last time I went (~3 months ago) I didn't encounter it at LAX or MCO.

I just returned from the States yesterday. On the way to it I had to go through the body scanner as well but I didn't know it was a body scanner until I was in it, they didn't notify me nor didn't ask my permission which pissed me of kind a because I heard the other day it could be bad for your health.
So on the way back home I had to go through it again but I refused, only now they frisked me extensively for a couple of minutes so I don't know what's a better option.
Solution? Just all opt-out for it, it will create such massive waiting lines that they have to remove it.
What I don't understand as well is that they let some people just go through the metal detector while others need to use the body scanner.
