I opt out everysingletime and as a Developer Evangelist, I travel quite a bit.. upwards of 30 flights so far this year. It's to the point when I travel with other people, I explicitly tell them to go through lines separate from me and don't associate with or acknowledge me.
Almost every time through, there are no more than 1-2 other people opting out at the same time. And usually prior to my opt out, there aren't any at all.
It appears that "most people put up with this fucktardery" because they don't know/care otherwise.. none even question it.
I document my experiences via Twitter using the #fuTSA tag if you'd like to follow along. ;)
Some of us with medical implants don't have a choice. Straight to the pat-down for me.
I opt out by not flying any more. Can get just about anywhere I want to in one day of driving (with the convenience of my own impromptu schedule, take as much as I want, and have a car when I get there).
Am surprised 4A suits haven't been filed en masse. Would be great for rights restoration if some lawyer could whip up a "filing suit over right X violations without a lawyer" guidebook, keeping it simple & cheap and leveraging sheer numbers in doing so (rather than trying to concoct the perfect case, just overwhelm the system with enough conflicting verdicts that the Supreme Court has to resolve it, with enough range in cases that nuanced narrow verdicts are impossible).
