I opt-out as well, I am a non-US citizen so I am a bit scared to cause any fuss considering the general friendliness of the US federal government. I was physically searched all three times passing security, opting to do so in public rather than in a booth as I prefer to be violated where there are witnesses. All-in-all, the TSA treated me fairly well considering the circumstances apart from in San Francisco where a passing female TSA agent smirked and commented saying "Come on, he is enjoying it!", laughing as she passed me by. That, that was a bit of a punch below the belt... The Dutch are now trying out the same scanners and they were not even remotely friendly when you opt-out. My plead to you over there in the states is to stop this madness before it spreads. Just as with liquids and all else, the US has a great influence on the rest of the world and in this case, I fear, for the worse.
