Oh yeah, I think you're right. Much of the FT posting is near hysterical. The so-called "opt out" day---it would be nice so that TSA could have a separate area and machine for opt out for volunteers. That way, angry people can mount their protest and not force everybody else to wait excessively and possibly even miss a flight and not get to their family for Thanksgiving. But, there probably won't be that many people demanding a full pat down anyway. It's probably mostly FT hype. Personally, I think that instead of ramdom selecting passengers for a full body scan/pat down, TSA should rely more on profiling/interviewing passengers (as in Israeli airports). Then, if something seems curious, pull passenger for more throrough screening.
