No, I do not follow you.
I opt-out for two reasons. 1) Health, 2) Privacy.
I will never go through the Nude-O-Scope. I should not have to be strip-searched by a government clerk when traveling within my own country. I do the pat-down, for the two reasons above, as well as my form of protest. If people are mad at TSA because of these procedures, going through the NoS like a sheep does not do anything.
I also like to keep an eye on my belongings. If I went through the NoS, I would not be able to keep some clerk from stealing my things.
Enjoy the radiation.
