TSA Eliminates Right to Opt Out of Nude-o-scope Body Scanners

For now, you may be allowed to opt out if the supervisor decides to grant you that privilege. But you must petition as a proper supplicat--on your knees. And of course it will be easy to issue an updated policy directive next year that there will be no exceptions.

TSA sharply curtails ability to opt out of electronic body screening at airports

The Transportation Security Agency has ended a policy that allows any passenger to opt out of an electronic screening, under a new directive issued last week.

In a report issued quietly on 18 December – days before one of the busiest travel periods of the year – the US travel security agency said some passengers will still be allowed to opt out of the full-body electronic screening and go through a physical search instead.
