I’m shocked how everyone just says yes and does the scan. Never had a TSA employee not make some eye-roll or snarky remark. They're aware of the social shaming

Never had a TSA employee not make some eye-roll or snarky remark. They're aware of the social shaming loophole.
- SilverElfin 1y agoWhen I opt out of TSA nonsense I have to always wait for several minutes in an odd spot like I’m some criminal. It’s certainly awkward and uncomfortable but also I feel like the delay is meant to discourage opting out.
- tayo42 1y agoWhat are you opting out of?
- SilverElfin 1y agoWalking through the scanner.
- tayo42 1y agoDidn't think that's a big deal anymore. You can get precheck though. It makes the whole airport experience much more sane
- ranger_danger 1y agoIt's not. But precheck comes with its own even more invasive privacy issues.
- wahnfrieden 1y agoOn a recent flight the agent told me that they are changing the rule soon and will start taking you aside (potentially to a room?) for further questioning if you opt out. I didn't verify if they were telling the truth or what the current status is.
- chaps 1y agoFlying out of LGA once and opting out of the body scanners, while I was being patted down, another TSA agent watched from about 20 feet away and kept doing "kissy" faces at me until it was over.
- c22 1y agoSounds like I'm in the minority here, but last time I flew there was a sign right next to the scanner reminding me I could opt out and I did opt out. The agent compared my photo ID to my boarding pass and professionally waved me through with no eye rolls or delay.
