I opt out any time I'm not in danger of missing a flight. Some airports are friendly and expedient about it, others (most recently, Austin) had me wait for about fifteen minutes before finding someone to do the pat down (while I tried to watch my bag/laptop/phone on the other side of the scanner).

I opted-out at SEA a few weeks ago and four old British ladies on their way home stared at me the entire time. They looked rather horrified.

Not sure if they thought I was a terrorist or if they were as disgusted by the whole situation as I was.
