Revealing full-body scans and genital-touching pat-downs are poised to become a regular fixture of airline travel in the U.S., and people are hopping mad about it.There have been accusations on both sides of fear mongering, insider profiting scandals and abuse Some of the effects of this two month-old change in the way airline passengers are screened are already being felt: CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg warns that the most immediate effect of these new security procedures will be longer lines and even travel delays, perhaps in no small part because even airline pilots have come out vehemently against them.• There are several reports, some disputed , of dust-ups with Transportation and Security Administration agents not really offering promised alternatives to the scans.• Some reports claim TSA agents are simply booting passengers and pilots from airports for refusing to take part, something the TSA notes is its right to do after a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.A surprising effect of the scans may eventually be a decline in air travel, according to an online Reuters poll . Reuters' readers were asked whether or not they would change their travel plans to avoid the invasive scans and pat-downs, and a whopping 96 percent (65,708 of 68,513) have thus far said yes.Those numbers could be skewed because one of the plethora of online opponents to the new scanning procedures may have asked readers to go to the site and vote.In contrast, a new CBS News Poll released Monday found 81 percent of Americans think airports should use these new machines -- including a majority of both men and women, Americans of all age groups, and Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. Fifteen percent said airports should not use them.For her part, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says in a USA Today opinion piece that body scanners used at many airports are safe and the images viewed in private. 
 
 Health Blog: Should John Tyner Should Worry about More Than His Junk? ||||| Flying somewhere Nov. 24? You could be walking into the midst of a large-scale protest aimed at getting passengers to turn down full-body scans at airports. 
 
 National Opt-Out Day is planned for the day before Thanksgiving, one of the busiest days of the year for airports. A group of activists is calling on passengers to exercise their Transportation Security Administration-given rights and decline full-body scans that allow technicians to see through their clothes. 
 
 The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups are up in arms about the scans, saying they violate privacy rights. 
 
 But some, including pilots unions, say the slower pat-downs aren't much better. Allegations of improper groping have surfaced recently, causing some to demand new security-screening methods at airports. 
 
 "This country needs security measures in place that not only keep us safe but also do not grossly violate privacy or constitute an unreasonable search, like the current protocol," opt-out organizers wrote in a statement on optoutday.com. 
 
 A recent CBS poll found that 81 percent of Americans are OK with full-body scanners being used at airports. 
 
 The opt-out protest is hoping to motivate Congress to pass harsher laws to protect privacy at airports. 
 
 "It's the day ordinary citizens stand up for their rights, stand up for liberty, and protest the federal government's desire to virtually strip us naked or submit to an 'enhanced pat down' that touches people's breasts and genitals in an aggressive manner," organizers said. 
 
 They added: "You should never have to explain to your children, 'Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee, then it's OK.'" 
 
 Scanners were installed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport earlier this fall.
– A group of organizers angry about full-body scans is sticking with its plan to snarl airport congestion on one of the busiest travel days of the year—the day before Thanksgiving. National Opt-Out Day encourages passengers to opt out of the scans and choose the more time-consuming pat-downs instead. The idea is to pressure Congress into better protecting passenger privacy, reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Despite all the recent hubbub, a recent CBS poll found 81% of Americans have no issue with the use of full-body scanners at airports. Still, if you're interested in joining in on the protest, Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic offers this advice to send an especially pointed message: Wear a kilt, sans underwear. "If nothing else, this will cause TSA employees to throw up their hands in disgust."
