There seems to be a growing resistence to these machines (lots of chatter here, reddit, etc) but at the same time they are becoming more commonplace. I have always thought of airplane travel as an option domestically (you can always drive) and been willing to subject myself to a few security checks as a condition. I would agree that these machines just go too far--if you choose to fly on an airplane you either have to a) subject yourself to irradiated humiliation or b) have someone touch your "junk". As long as the "opt-out" is an option, there is an opportunity for a popular revolt. If everyone (or even a very small portion) of travellers began opting out, they would quickly either: a) force everyone to use them (which they are apparently doing in some locations) or b) go back to the standard metal detectors. If they force everyone to go through them and a lawsuit arises, the judicial system would have a chance to weigh in on it. Someone should make a website, a catchy slogan, and some stickers and get the uprising going...
