BTW these things also scan the genital area. If an unoperated trans woman passes through, it flags her for having a hidden weapon in her crotch. This has been a source of forced outings, public humiliation and in some cases outright sexual harassment by flight security staff ever since these machines where introduced at airports, i find the idea that somebody could be forced to endure that before every subway ride absolutely nightmarish.

How would a metal detector sense the shape of your flesh? And how would it know your legal gender?

When you go through they gotta press a button guessing your sex. Whether I get patted on the crotch or the bra is a test of how well I pass that day.
