Just had a conversation with a TSA worker about this on Thursday. I was in the line for the metal detector and like usual they decided to tell me to step over to the radiation porn machine. I had decided previously to start saying the word radiation more loudly to make sure more people could hear me saying it in my opt out. I said it so loud, though, that it startled me, triggering me to laugh (perverse, I know). The TSA worker also laughed. There is so much wrong with what I just typed, but, alas, it is what it is. So, feeling suddenly chatty, I started telling him, "You know, you shouldn't be standing next to it all day, either. It's not safe. You heard the news about the cancer clusters already starting to appear? Can you just imagine the class action lawsuits that are going to bankrupt our country for real when all of you get cancer?" This is similar to the usual things I talk about at the checkpoint, but this time the worker nodded and agreed, saying, "I know what you mean, but I sure hope that doesn't happen to all of us." So, I added, "They don't even let you wear those meters to see how much radiation you're getting." He said, "A few of us used to but then they made us stop." At that point I couldn't continue this thread of conversation any longer because it was time to follow my stuff and make sure it didn't decide to travel somewhere without me.
Also, a few weeks back, I, too had somebody obsessed with my feet. She was down there so long massaging them that I asked her if she was going to give me a pedicure while she was down there.
