TSA already punishes travelers who try to opt out of body scanning. In addition to subjecting them to intrusive patdowns, often in public (for those who don't want to risk a special "private screening") they will typically suspend scanning temporarily and make the opt-out people wait as they let others go ahead through a simple metal detector. This may be an easy way for bad actors to help their accomplices avoid body scans.
