Yes.

More precisely, they claim that it applies to certain (secretly defined) categories of passengers, not everyone, but they couch that in vague enough language that they can't be pinned down on it. And anyway, they also argued in court that they reserve the right to change that rule and require AIT of anyone for any reason, and that opting out is not a right at all, but merely an indulgence that they can withdraw at whim.

My belief is that this is a deliberate transitional strategy towards later claiming that the same rule allows them to make AIT mandatory for everyone
