New Orleans Kid new to ATS, They just installed full body scanners in our airport

Hello, everyone. Been following for months now. Aside from our usual grabbag of BP related garbage(there's still oil out there), I have recently become appalled by the fact that Louis Armstrong Airport is one of the early airports chosen for the full body scanners. The privacy and dignity issues alone are reason to have problems with these devices. Also, it's a little extra radiation to blast us with, in addition to the trace amounts of hydrocarbons and corexit potentially in our air, water, and food. I've read a little about the "opt out" option but it sounds like the TSA will go out of their way to humiliate you and/or intimidate you if you actually attempt this legal option. Any frequent fliers out there have experience with this issue?
