Status	Airline	Checkpoint	Date	Notes	Time	Wait
	Other	Interisland	2013-02-03	WTMD only at Interisland. Worth the walk after bag check and the Wiki-Wiki after security. Alarmed, was given a cursory and non-invasive patdown by an unusually nice TSA employee. Had a coin in my pocket...oops.	200p	5
	Other	Interisland	2013-02-02	Only one checkpoint (with two separate lines and scanners). WTMD only still. Lines moved pretty quickly considering their length. From experience, even if you're flying to the mainland you can still use this CP but if you do so, checking bags will be a pain since you cannot do so at this terminal. Getting to the mainland terminal from the secure area is via the free wiki wiki shuttle.	900a	15
	AA	4	2012-08-31	Another false+ from Gumby...smurf couldn't understand why there was nothing on my wrist when the machine said there was...idiots...	540a
	Other	Interisland	2012-06-15	WTMD only, no scanners.	1140a	10
	Other	interisland	2012-05-17	no scanners in terminal	230p	2
	Other	Commuter	2012-05-12	No machines.	900a	1
	Other	Interisland	2012-04-19	No xrays. Nicest TSA staff.	1100a	5
	AA	5	2012-04-02	All pax thru the NoS. Ended up w/another false+ from Gumby-smurfette was totally confused when she insisted on checking my watch I wasn't wearing.	530a	5
	AA	5	2012-02-26	First time I've seen 2 lanes open at this CP, one NoS the other WTMD, but screener decided the WTMD lane was 'family only' even though there was no such signage anywhere. Line to get into the NoS for scope & grope was running 6-8 deep while the WTMD lane was zipping right along.
	AA	Domestic	2012-02-09	Forgot which checkpoint I used, but they all seem to have the scanners. This is in the domestic (mainland) terminal. (It was left of the American Air check-in place). I checked many of the other checkpoints and some had ridiculously long lines. The scanner was present but not in use. A few checkpoints were closed this afternoon. It is probably worth walking around a bit to find the shortest line. If you can qualify for the 'gold line' (first class, etc) you will save yourself much waiting.	500p	20
	AA	5	2012-02-04	NoS roped off & everyone thru the WTMD.	630a	0
	AA	5	2012-01-14	Wait time is due to the ability to use the Gold lane, otherwise, it would have been significantly higher due to only 1 of 2 lanes at that CP in use. Good news is that because of the back-up, NoS was roped off & everyone ushered thru the WTMD just as I started to unload my carryon for screening.	700a	5
	DL	International	2011-11-19	7:00AM Scanners active in main terminal, huge lines everywhere. Walked to interisland terminal and passed security there, no scanners installed and there was no line. Make sure not to set off WTMD there or you will be given a full service pat down! Easy walk back to main terminal, no wait at agriculture check, nobody asks questions about you boarding a flight at different terminal
	All		2011-11-12	Inter Island terminal - all WTMDs
	CO	All Gates	2011-07-20	Had a M.M. rape scanner on the left and a standard W.T.M.D. on right. All elderly appearing persons and people traveling with small children were allowed through the W.T.M.D. all others, including myself, were forced into the M.M. rape machine. Chose to Opt-Out! No problems getting the Opt-Out although the guy who did my pat down was totally bummed he had to give up his very tiring and important job of holding the table down.
	AS	Between gates 23 and 24	2011-07-06	Easy SDOO: Left lane was WTMD only, right lane was 100% MMW radar. Screeners were attempting to convince people to switch to the NOS lane, which had no people waiting at the baggage Xray.
	Other	Inter-Island Terminal/Hawaiian Air	2011-04-19	no scanners in Inter-Island Terminal; are scanners in International Terminal, but can enter security at Inter-Island Terminal and then take "Wiki-Wiki" tram to International Terminal without exiting security
	Other	inter-island terminal/Hawaiian Air	2011-03-08	WTMD at Inter-island terminal
	UA	UA	2011-02-14	Secondhand report—no scanners seen at CP nearest to UA counter. Scanners probably were there, but they just weren't in use.
	UA		2011-01-05	Body scanner not in use; just regular metal detectors
	DL		2010-12-21
	UA	gate 8	2010-12-19	first class line had the scanner on the left, people in the economy line went through the metal detector bc of long lines, many people went through the scanner in the first class line bc it was shorter
	UA	united terminal	2010-12-01	tsa agent tried to tell me that I would have to wait a long time for opt out since the pat down agent was in another location, he hinted that I would miss my flight, even though I was there 2 hours early! guy bascially forced me into the machine. Disgusting!! Will never fly again until the TSA is gone.
