When I used to travel for work I made a big effort to avoid going through the scanners by selecting lines that weren't using them or opt-ing out. My last opt-out occurred after the new groping pat-downs were put into practice and I found the pat-down much more disturbing than the scanner. Now, I still try to avoid the line with the scanner, but when required, I'll go through them rather than get groped.<p>Unfortunately, this lawsuit will do nothing to change the way the TSA operates. I would have been happier to see the punishment not just be a payment of monies but a requirement to change policies and procedures to avoid this in the future. I don't see that happening.
