You've managed to avoid it. Get used to it happening more often when you opt out.
Guess you are supposed to totaly empty your pockets so as to give the TSOs with sticky fingers a chance at taking what was yours and making it theirs.
I've worked in areas that authorized the use of lethal force and had the people there to use lethal force. Funny thing is that it took less to access those areas than it now does to fly.
