Thanks a lot

Did you check the Sticky at the top of the forum regarding EWR's use of AIT? If you are lucky, perhaps you won't have to opt out, although there's always the risk of a random pat down.
According to the Sticky Thread:
EWR - Terminal A (AA) gates 30-39 do not have the NoS - Term. B MMW @ DL Gates B40-B47 - Term. C C/P 2 - MMW - C/P 1 & 3 have MMW
Hope you can at least avoid the WBI!
