TSA Full body scan at American airports after IVF?

[MoreThanCars]

Hello,
We are leaving to HRC in a month but I was wondering if anyone knows whether the TSA Full body scans at American airports would have any influence on the (positive) test results after IVF/PGD?
I'm scared to ask for a pat-down!

Hmmmm interesting question maybe you must ask the airport. But will they be honoust about it? Otherwise criminal people can use it as an excuse.....

I would definitely ask about it and if they refuse this article has a number you can call to report it. They are supposed to allow you a pat down with no questions asked. No freaking way would I go thru that thing after IVF.

You should def. have your cell phone at the ready.
