I opted out at SAN the other day and the TSO guy responded with: "You DON'T want to go through the scanner?" He could have been saying "You DON'T want to ride on the Matterhorn?" or "You DON'T want a million dollars?"
I just laughed at him and said, "No thanks." The woman who did the pat down was very professional, even a bit apologetic in tone, told me exactly what she was going to do, did the pat down quickly, apologized that I would need to wait while the gloves she wore were tested for explosives, and I was on my way in another minute or so.
OPT OUT. I like it as a slogan. Short, sweet, and to the point.
