IF I were an "OPT-OUT" the most important thing in my mind would be to know much I will tolerate before I'd say: "Enough, I cannot take this I will not fly"!
To my way of thinking if you don't have a limit set in your mind then you are accepting of whatever they may do. Set a Limit! Don't be abused!

Note* I do not believe the $10K/fine/jail threat. It's very surprising that it's only been threatened but not used.
