Another post indicated numerous scanners are shutdown intentionally for the day. I suspect the TSA will claim the holiday came and went without delays (indicating the American public thinks the scanners are acceptable) rather than fess up that they had turned the machines off to avoid backlash. It's just good spin.

Here in Dallas the local news was blabbing on with a live report from DFW “wondering where the long lines are?” while showing some protesters outside the termanals. They were all but saying the "opt-out protest" had no effect.

Nice spin, but in the next breath he was reporting on “no lines all day.” They added that the same thing was occurring at Love Field.

No lines at DFW on the day before Thanksgiving? Yep. The live shot showed the place was empty.

Sounds to me a lot of folks are taking the BIG “optout” and they simply are not flying.
