The one genius thing about the body scanners is that the TSA have persuaded people who don't like them that they can protest by opting out. Opting out isn't a protest.

If you want to register your discontent with the searches at airports, don't delude yourselves that opting out does anything. No one notices. No one writes it down. No one cares.
