Terrible treatment

I just went through security and asked to opt out. There are two people working each scanner and they teamed up and immediately upon my request said that it is not possible to opt out. When I held my ground and stated that it was EU Law that I can, they said everyone does it so I should as well. When I didn’t budge they threatened me with Police and started getting loud in German and the women said “you are in Germany therefore you should speak German…I will not speak to you in English” When I kept my stance, the guy took me aside and did the normal pat down and tested my shoes and I was on my way. Terrible people.
