| DL | Terminal D | 2013-05-20 | MMW in use on the left, WTMD-only lane to the right. | 350p | 5 | |
| DL | Marine Air Terminal | 2013-05-05 | WTMD-only! Renovations are occurring at the MAT, so a MMW could appear here in the near future. TDC was playing the name game. | 550p | 0 | |
| US | 3 | 2013-03-14 | no scanners in sight only metal detectors | 840a | 5 | |
| US | Terminal C | 2013-03-05 | At Terminal C, for US Airways, at left checkpoint, both lanes were using WTMD! Backscatter machine was roped off. This was the middle of the day with only a moderate amount of travelers | 1230p | 15 | |

| DL | C | 2012-12-15 | Here's the deal with C gates. There are two CPs, and they are mirror images of each other. Both have a paired WTMD and MMW and a standalone WTMD. Obviously you want to (and can) SDOO towards the WTMD, although even at the pair an SDOO looked easy. At the left checkpoint, stay right. At the right checkpoint, stay left. You can access D gates from these CPs currently via a frequent shuttle bus; they are rebuilding the connecting corridor. | 1030a | ||
| DL | D | 2012-12-15 | Here's the deal with D gates. There are two CPs. The left-side CP has a paired WTMD and MMW and a standalone WTMD, stay left for it (you can SDOO). The smaller right-side . At the left checkpoint, stay right. At the right checkpoint, there is only a MMW/WTMD pair, and most pax seem to be pointed at the MMW, so avoid this one. You can access C gates from these CPs currently via a frequent shuttle bus; they are rebuilding the connecting corridor. | 1030a | ||

| DL | C - Left hand | 2012-10-07 | The lefthand entrance had the WTMD lane blocked up with bricks, fortunately the MMW was roped off as well. The MMW lane is on the left. | 710a | ||

| B6 | Terman B (concourse A) | 2012-09-04 | All were being directed through the MMW at this check point. Opted out and had the pleasure of dealing with a very nice and courteous TSA agent who game me a traditional pat down and sent me on my way. A very nice opt out experience here at Laguardia. | 7a | ||
| AA | c | 2012-08-25 | URGENT! We decided to NOT fly today. There is a XRAY machine at gate C. WARNING!! do not expose yourself to this DNA destroying machine. | |||
| DL | D | 2012-08-25 | One NoS scanner on left side. Self select to the right side to avoid, but it was not in use. I asked if my 6yo daughter needs to put off her shoes. They started interrogating her! 6yo! They need to know her name before they can answer me if she needs to take off her shoes? | |||

| AA | Terminal 2 - D gates checkpoint | 2012-07-16 | There is a BKSX scanner on the far right of the checkpoint. It was roped off when I went through the checkpoint. It's probable that you could avoid having to go through the scanner by staying left when it is in use. An ominous sign warns you that the x-ray scanner is optional, but you will receive a "thorough patdown." | 1000a | 5 | |

| FL | Terminal B | 2012-05-05 | Wonderful experience, 2 WTMD only, and just a few TSA personnel manning the checkpoint. Very efficient. Visit this checkpoint to understand why we need to eliminate NoS/backscatter! | 410p | 5 | |

Also mentioned that they wanted no part of them because of the headaches they cause TSOs! Very quick and professional screening, sharp contrast to my experiences at BWI and DCA. | 400p | 15 | |
