The most effective opt-out day would be one in which opting-out meant following Michael Roberts' stand and choosing not to fly that day rather than being scanned or groped. Having a lot of no-shows on a busy travel day might also cause the airlines to pay attention.
Since flights are often overbooked on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, this type of action on that day would not adversely impact the airlines (unless those who opted out were on fully refundable tickets). Plus, most who are traveling on the 24th would not be willing to give up their travel plans.
Perhaps this could be a follow-up event?
