No, when I opted for full-body pat-down the customs officer did not even look at my head. All he did was telling me what he was going to do and then once I gave him my consent he started touching every part of my body. He did not touch my hair, though. That's the reason I asked for pat down instead of screener as through screener the person who monitors the screen will actually see that something is on top of the passenger's head. This is what I am concerned about, especially when I travel with friends who do not know about me wearing ;-)

Hi Bobbyphilly,

Thank you for your response and comments.

Yes, I do agree with you when a person gets older whether or not you will be exposed does not really matter that much anymore. Everyone has confidence to a certain extent. If the person is so confidence he/she does not even need to wear a piece at all. To look better? To boost one's confidence?? Anyway, I am not range yet and prefer not to be exposed in public (if possible).

Anyone with similar concerns and had experienced any awkward situation may want to share with others here. Thank you.
