In regards to the typeface it appears to be a standard 12 pt. font. The problem with choosing this size font is that, again in the airports I have transited, the signage is either not in an appropriate place, or placed in such a manner as to be unreadable by the people approaching the WBI machine.

Sure, the signs are there. Sure, the signs are prior to the machine. Where TSA has failed, again, is that while living up to the letter of the law, they have completely ignored the spirit of it for their own apparent purposes.
I welcome you to post a picture of the sign. If allowed to take pictures I will show you where the signs are poorly placed.
I will be posting pictures. These signs are not airport specific except for the different technologies. These signs are mandatory to be placed outside of any of the WBI machines. The signage is a requirement by the WBI SOP. If you ever encounter a WBI without the required signage please by all means bring this point up to a screening supervisor.
Like I said I will take pictures today and post them either tonight or tomorrow morning.

After reading then Opt Out!
^^ Please insist that you are allowed to read and and all information regarding the screening process. As for Opting Out well, thats your own personal decision and you may choose which ever method you prefer. Neither choice will bother me a bit.
