Only two opt-outs in a month at LAX?



So says the FSD at LAX:

Since late October, just two LAX passengers have opted for the alternative pat-down screening — out of an estimated 80,000 to 90,000 people who daily pass through security, Parsons said.

I found it extremely unlikely (and considering it nothing short of a lie) that only two people have opted out since late October at LAX. Heck, I find it doubtful that if you changed the time period to an hour, that statistic could very well be invalid.

Keep on spinning it to the media, TSA.
