Some airport travelers, including a U.S. senator, are having trouble saying no to security technology that's supposed to be voluntary.

"Even a Senator had trouble saying no!"

The article says he said no, showed his ID (which is the standard) and went through as smoothly as usual. What's the problem?

That he was lied to, that opting out would result in a significant delay before he made a decision.

So... Basically the same shit TSA has been doing since its inception?
