I will not be touched by government clerks! I don't care if it means I can't fly, if I'm stranded on the other side of the country and have to rent a car and drive 4 days to get home and miss work and incur huge additional costs. I will not allow them to put their hands on my person, for any reason, EVER. This is MY choice to make, and I don't really care whether others respect my choice or not.
But this is the logic of many people. "Oh, I'd rather use the NoS than receive a patdown." Use of the NoS doesn't prevent a patdown. In fact, with ATR, your chances of a patdown are higher than if someone is watching in the peep show room.
