Sorry you have to go through that. Also, what radiation machine are you referring to? The millimeter wave scanner?
Yes. Besides the uncertainty about the harmful effects of that radiation, there's also the issue of how they collect and pass around the naked images.
Have people really asked for a place to pray while flying on a plane? Why would JetBlue ask such a weird question?
Some middle eastern airlines have prayer rooms on their aircraft as well as indicators in the room so you know which direction Mecca is.
Not sure where I have read it, nor can I confirm but I remember they also try to avoid scheduling flights during prayer hours (if possible)

Opting out of multimeter scans: not even once

Do you have any source of them passing around any images? Are they even able to do that without in-depth knowledge of the system?
This was when I was flying home from college for summer.
I explained it as "This is the bag I use for school: something must have touched it during chem lab".
I am a coward for saying this, but your objective when flying is to get to point B. So, make it easy on the jack-booted thugs.
You don't affect change by annoying your local officially sanctioned thug. You affect change by voting.
If you want to make a stand, then come prepared for that: knowledge of law + 24 hours to kill.

Definitely, for sure both jews and muslims. The "following instructions from female flight attendants" thing I would guess also isn't out of the blue... maybe the airline has had experience with people not following female flight attendant rules.
There have been a few instances of people refusing to allow a woman to sit next to them. They don't always move themselves, they sometimes insist the woman is moved.
EG, but there are other examples: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11406112

I'm pretty sure that even if they couldn't get the actual images out of the machine, they can easily take a picture of the image with their mobile cameras.
