Did they yell "OPT OUT! OPT OUT!" ? If they did that with me I'd be ****ed and I'd give them a piece of my mind (respectfully but firmly albeit... I don't like carpet dances). All that yelling hocus pocus is nothing but intimidation. They are trying to make the ones who opt out stand out to the others in the line, and deter folks from opting out. Personally, I'll be telling any pregnant women (in fact, women in general) and kids I see in the security line that they have the option to opt out. I won't worry about the men since I'm sure they'll hear my conversation. My point is I want the traveling sheeple to be aware they DO have a choice... regardless how miserable each is. I'd rather be groped than get a dose of extra radiation.
Do any of you all think the TSA would try to get us in trouble if we try and educate folks in the security lines? I'm not saying we should tell them to opt out, I'm thinking we could, as I said before, let them know they have a choice in the matter.
Opinions?
