Perhaps I am pessimistic, but I don't think tomorrow will be much of a problem for TSA. First of all, they don't care - as a government agency, they are not responsible for a bottom line or a product, and I'm fairly certain supervisors are not compensated based on turn-time. But more specifically, I don't think most travelers are even cognizant of NOOD. Many of those who are peripherally aware don't care, or even overtly support NoS. Sadly, I fear strong opposition to current TSA practices is largely a phenomenon reserved for frequent business travelers who have to put up with this madness week after week rather than once in a blue moon. I foresee the overwhelming majority of holiday passengers smiling as they walk through the NoS.

Perhaps it would have been better to have an opt-out day on a heavy business travel weekday - a non-holiday. Perhaps a Thursday. Fewer strains on TSA and airports, but a higher percentage of opt-outs. I don't have the answers by any means, just thinking out loud.
