I have been directed to their radiation strip search scanners a number of times so far but have never been challenged 'yet' when I just kind of aimlessly wandered to a WTMD when I reached the end of the radiation line. Last time a month ago they did have a TSO selecting victims from the WTMD line and this represented a change but I gave her a silent "don't you dare select me or there will be trouble" dirty look and she passed me by and I went through the WTMD.

I'll be through TBIT again next week. I will opt out if I can't self opt out as usual and if I have to I will make a scene to make it worth my while if they inconvenience me. Unfortunately for them I am to shameless to be sexually humiliated into submission.
Have you (or anyone else reading this who's flown through TBIT recently) been able to continue to successfully self opt out?
