The MMW (clear) machines are still very much in use, and the physical detection and imaging is still very much the same. All that has changed is that the human in the room viewing the images has been replaced by software to parse the images, but the images are still in the machine for some unknowable period of time (since it's not like the vendor has open sourced the product).
You can of course continue to opt out in the US. (I forget what the UK status is... for a while it was if you refuse you don't fly, but that might have been overturned.)
