Here's a good post about the TSA scanners and enhanced pat-downs.
I'll be flying in January. I don't know what I'll do, if I'll opt out - the author of the post says she will demand the pat-down to be done out in the open, in front of witnesses, but I don't know if just saying that could get you arrested for non-compliance - or if I'll wimp out and go through the scanner. I don't really have concerns about my personal well-being; of course both options are bad but I could tolerate either one. It's the principle. I don't know if forcing them to waste time doing the enhanced pat-down will even help anything. Or maybe it won't be an option, if by then it'll be either go through the scanner or get arrested.
