During 2010 and the first half of 2011, my significant other (female) was randomly selected for the scanners 11 out of 12 times. The 1 time she wasn't selected was because the scanner was not in operation. I (male) was randomly selected 0 times.

Every time she asked for a pat down, the female TSA worker (who would be performing the pat down) would scowl at the young male worker. It seemed that female pat downs were in higher demand, making her job harder.

Now that more scanners have been installed at the airports we frequent, the TSA workers try to send almost 100% of the people through the scanners. Though, my significant other now gets directed over to the metal detector if there is a long line for the scanner.
