Is there any "list" maintained of opt-out passengers?

So my wife made a scene at JFK the other week when she refused to go through the nude-o-scope and demanded a private screening (personally, I think the nude-o-scopes are silly, but it's not worth the hassle to protest at the checkpoint). They basically threw the book at her, combing through her luggage, having her talk to the police, asking her for her phone number (she gave it to them), and even having a TSA agent get on board the plane to recheck her ID.

What is likely to happen to her in the future when she travels? Do they maintain a list of "difficult" pax subject to extra security due to her protest, or does she get a "clean slate" every time she travels? She is obviously no terrorist threat, just a "threat" to object to nude-o-scopes.
