Nah, I doubt we'll lose Opt-Out. That recent court ruling made it clear that body scanning, of any kind, is not a 4th amendment violation as long as there's another choice.

Frankly, I think TSA probably likes the Opt-Out requirement. They can make both choices more thorough and invasive and still meet the requirement of an alternative to either.
