Fellow humans: never subject yourself to the CastScope.
Unfortunately, if you are at a checkpoint that has it, there is NO opting out. Believe me, I tried last year. It was truly a "If you don't do this, you don't fly" kind of situation. But hey, we all know the TSA is ADA-compliant and happy to be of kind, friendly, helpful customer service to passengers with disabilities.
