RE: “I don’t think it’s dumb.
Some people merely do not want to be irradiated. Many cancer patients [or former cancer patients] refuse to be x-rayed.
They may not even know or care about an opt out day.”

Agree — don’t we all get way more radiation than we need in the first place? Just flying in itself gives us too much radiation. We are bombarded with it in ways we are not aware of in addition to those we do recognize. Enough!
I’m sick of ALL the annoyances of flying — just going to opt out totally for the foreseeable future. Have not flown since ‘06 and don’t miss it one bit.
I won’t fly again either unless I must for business.
