With the recent kerfluffle over the new TSA guidelines (backscatter X-ray machines, pat-downs, &c.), there's been talk of a National Opt-Out Day, in which everyone refuses to go through the backscatter X-ray machines, meaning everyone will have to get a pat-down.
Which would cause some considerable chaos.
So... opinions? Do the new measures make you feel safer? Do you think they go too far?
