Hubby doesn't mind new TSA screening...
He says if the Body Scanner is the quickest line through CP, then that's the line he's going through...of course, he believes the gov't garbage, "if it makes us safer..." I disagree. 
Of course, he went through the MMW Scan at a TX airport, while I went through the regular Metal Detector. So dumb!
My concerns: 1) the undisclosed dose radiation from the Backscatter Scanner. 2) (my) children going through the machines or getting a their body groped....this is just so wrong!

Mr LITW is the same - all about "getting through as fast as possible, who cares". Drives me insane. I'm sure he thinks I get up on my soap box about body scanners way too often, but I won't go through them, period. If we miss our flight because of me, oh well. His opinions aren't changeable by me, so fortunately we don't travel together too often

I'm one of the fastest line through people as well but I always let people know they have the right to opt-out. (Converted one person ahead of me at SJC this morning). Call me a hypocrite - I like my options but I don't care if I have to go through the NoS...
