You don't need to have any reason to opt-out from millimeter wave scanners. Just ask for a pat down. I do it all the time when traveling to the US, because I think these machines are useless, expensive and invasive. If enough people did this a simple, legal, act of civil disobedience would force the TSA to rethink the way they operate.

Yes, opt out every time. (With pre-check, I don't have to as often, but every time I'm offered a US-run scanner, I opt out.) Might as well get my money's worth from the security theater... (NB: I'm a quite frequent flier and I've only ever seen one other person opt out; that was leaving a tech conference in Vegas.)
