Here is the excerpt from the DHS document:
Individuals undergoing screening using AIT generally will have the option to decline an AIT screeningin favor of physical screening. Given the implementation of ATR and the mitigation of privacy issues associated with the individual image generated by previous versions of AIT not using ATR, and the need to respond to potential security threats, TSA will nonetheless mandate AIT screening for some passengers as warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security.
- tslug 11y agoI already know exactly what's going to represent a "security consideration in order to safeguard transportation security." When you opt-out, they make you wait a long time standing next to the X-ray machine for someone to give you a pat-down. (It's almost never that the guy doing pat-downs is busy, btw- really weird.) They're going to claim that having someone wait near the X-ray machines that long represents some kind of security threat. And then they're going to use that fact to justify overriding the opt-out, because the more time you spend next to an X-ray machine, the higher the odds you've tampered with it or have had time to assemble that tactical nuke you've been hiding in your pockets or whatever nonsense they come up with.
