Australia doesn't let you opt out last I checked, and I don't think Canada does either. Unsure about European countries.
There should really be a site with a list of available opt-out policies worldwide.
EDIT: Canada appears to allow opt-out.[1]

- citruspi 10y agoI'm not entirely sure about Canada. I found some news/posts/comments on the Interwebs that lead me to believe that you can opt-out, but I'm struggling to find anything from the last 3-4 years or anything on the CATSA website. I'm flying out of Vancouver tomorrow morning, so I'll try and report back.

I've never seen the full body scanners used as a primary screening step in Canada. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/infosheets-menu-7669.html https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/infosheets-menu-7669.html
