- An elaborate hairdo often means additional inspection will be required, because piled-up hair can conceivably conceal a weapon and body scanners give more false positive readings on the head than any other area
- TSA agents rotate stations (checking tickets, watching the screen, etc.) every 30 minutes to keep them fresh
- All organic products, such as meat and cheese, appear orange on the screen and are indistinguishable from C4 explosives
- An agent hits a button before you enter the body scanner to indicate if you are a man or woman so the machine knows to account for the right body parts
- What TSA agents write on your ticket varies by location, but usually includes their initials and/or badge number
