I opt for a pat-down every time. I doubt this will put me on any worse of a list. Thanks for sharing OP!

Thanks for sharing OP!
- misterprime 7y agoGlad I'm not the only one. Still haven't been through one of those scanners.
- clairity 7y agome too. those peeping tom machines are such a farce in the overall tragedy that is security theater.
- turk73 7y agoYes, thanks L3 Systems and asshat Chertoff for creating the "shoe bomber" and getting your shit sold. Enjoy your billions and rot in hell.
- dang 7y agoI'd guess most people here agree with your underlying view, but please don't post in this flamewar/ranty style to HN. It lowers signal/noise and encourages worse from others. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- orblivion 7y agoI stopped opting out because I didn't see the point to continue. The opt-out moment is over. One could argue it contributed to getting rid of the more dangerous backscatter devices, but the millimeter waves remain. If it comes back for another reason I will rejoin for the duration. But I personally am not so shy that I care about a body scan. It seemed upon reflection that it was just vanity or resentment on my point to continue, and I was just inconveniencing myself. If you have a counter-argument I'm all ears, but I just don't see the point for myself, here and now, to opt-out.
- ukyfngim 7y ago> I was just inconveniencing myself. Oh, you put up the scanners, hired folks to do pat downs, are requiring me to take off my shoes, remove my laptop, etc? I thought that was the TSA. Would you please stop? The current approach is making us less safe, and we'd all be better off with the pre-9/11 security framework. Edit: By "we" I mean Americans. America's enemies would be SOL.
