Opt out = Red flag

My ex traveled with my son over the holiday out of BWI and SLC. I had told them about the NoS, in particular that I didn't want our son going thru them.

She talked to TSA at BWI about it and she mentioned "opt out" and they're like "Don't say that up there ... we treat that as a red flag. Say anything but that."

I found that interesting that they seem to be treating "opt outs" as trouble makers. Doesn't surprise me really, but that's the first time I've heard that. Saying like "I'd rather not" seemed less "offensive" to them.

Any of you hear about anything like that?
