As I recall, a SAT TSO who posted frequently back then and only lurks now posted that someone approached her checkpoint TSOs and threatened to shoot any 'opt outs' who slowed him down by exercising their right to travel with their groins unmolested.

Surprisingly enough, she and her co-workers didn't summon LEs, they just chatted with the guy, agreed with him about folks who opt out, and let him go.

Who knew that you could make threats of violence against fellow pax at a checkpoint and TSA could tell the difference between a joke and a genuine cause for concern? Or would she and her co-workers have still been laughing as hard if the guy had approached them and threatened violence against anyone who tried to get up close and forceful with his 'junk'.

TSA HQ has always resented being forced to allow opt outs - even when it's perfectly clear that many of those unable to assume and hold the position in the NoS are unable to do so because they were injured serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Doubly ironic when you see TSOs spouting off about how much of the work force is ex-military. True vets who fought for our country coming home to get crotch-chopped by ex-2 year 'warriors' whose battleground is now crotches and butt cracks.
