travel with small children. My family went on vacation to Orlando last week and on our way out there (from Milwaukee, WI) and back (from Orlando International), we were at security gates that had body scanners. On our way out, we weren't in the direct line to use the scanner, but we also could have been waved over. On our way back, we were in the line for the scanner and the TSA guy blocked us from going through it and directed us to the metal detector along with everyone else that had small children. It turns out that it is against DHS/TSA regulations to separate parents from their children as part of the security screening (I found it on their website) and the body scanners are a one person at a time thing.
What does this mean? This screening method is absolutely useless. All you have to do is bring a small child with you and you can blow the airplane up along with an additional child.
