My children (ages 16, 10) will be flying in a few days and I opt-out of both screening methods (both airports have BKSX). The only way I would let them fly is if they go through the metal detector. Should we even bother?

You have no control over the screening process, except for the ability to leave.

Given your story, it sounds that another piece of collateral damage from all this is custody arrangements.
