SEATTLE — Air travelers moved normally through Sea-Tac Airport security checkpoints this morning despite a threatend pat-down protest.

KING-TV found no one planning to refuse to use full-body X-ray scanners in hope of overwhelming the pat-down process.

Most said they didn’t want the added delay and that TSA screeners were just doing the jobs.

A loosely organized effort dubbed National Opt-Out Day called for the protest to highlight what some call unnecessarily intrusive screenings.
