At a previous job I traveled a few times a month. I opt-ed out each time or found a line with only a metal detector. After the new pat-down rules were released, I opt-ed out, got the new pat-down and realized that the pat-down was far more abusive and uncomfortable for me than the scanner. I now use the scanner. Of course, the new pat-down rules were specifically designed to make the experience bad enough that people wouldn't opt-out anymore.
