A lady (pregnant) just in front of me refused the Backscatter Porno Strip Search and a pat down was called for. The only signage I noticed was images on the side of the machines. I saw nothing indicating a person has a choice to OPT OUT.

Seems TSA is forcing people to be screened by WBI.

FLL E Gates also has two Backscatters installed. Long lines at that gate. Saw several guys all in wheelchairs going to the E lines. I cannot imagine the hell TSA put these guys through.
I ran into the same signage situation, which is why I think the TSOs were shocked that I told them I was opting out.
