And then he lightly tapped my scrotum

I'm flying to Israel on business, and since I'm not travelling with my family as I was a couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to opt-out of the backscatter X-ray. No fuss, the opt-out was handled without a raised eyebrow, and the TSA agent accomplished the invasion of my privacy with as much professionalism as could be wanted under the circumstances.

Some updates of recent history, since I have time to kill in this terminal:

The week before flying to England, I attended rifle league at West Coast Armory. Checking the score sheet before I left, I saw that I was the only one that had perfect 26/26 hits on both runs. My times were about double the front-runners, and this is not surprising. At my regular range, rapid fire is not permitted, so I don't get much opportunity to practice double taps or recoil management. Still, it's good to hit what I want to hit and not hit what shouldn't be hit.

My Form 4 for my 7.62 suppressor still hasn't cleared the ATF, but my dealer finally got the .22 suppressor transferred to him, so I got to send off the Form 4 for that yesterday.
