Wow, If only 5% of the traveling public opts out on 24th, the check points are going to grid to a stop. This is the busiest travel day of the year. I am sure that I will be working that day, so I guess I will be able to see the show.

Any national news networks pick up this story yet? I can see the headline: Passengers Opt Out, TSA check points grind to a halt.

Most will just follow along, but I am sure a few will opt out. It won't take many to overload the system on the busiest travel day of the year.

Not talking about the pilots, I am talking about the passengers.

I do agree though, it will take just a few.

I saw this on the "National Opt out Day" twitter feed. The One Stop Shop For Your Your Official TSA Groping Guide Shirt!. Not sure who'd actually wear this, but its still funny.

I'll opt out this day if asked to. I'm tired of this crap.
