' The TSA has said the need for such measures was demonstrated last Christmas, when a Nigerian man allegedly tried to blow up a Detroit-bound plane with explosives hidden in his underwear. As Opt-Out Day drew near. TSA chief John Pistole pleaded with Thanksgiving travelers not to boycott the body scans and prevent other people from getting home for the holidays. The fear was that if even a relatively smajl number of people opted for a pat-down, delays could quickly mount. Full-body scans take as little as 10 seconds, while pat-downs take four minutes or longer. Fearing such delays, some passengers decided to go to the airport especially early and were pleasantly surprised. Retirees Bill and Margaret Selfridge arrived three hours ahead of schedule at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport for their flight to Washington. It took only 10 minutes to get through the checkpoint at 8 a.m. "Now we get to drink a lot of coffee," Bill Selfridge said. The weather, though, threatened to spoil some people's travel plans, especially in the West. A ferocious early-season snowstorm pummeled the Rockies, bringing whiteoiit conditions to parts of the region and closing roads. It was expected to delay air travelers and people who probably thought they were doing the smart thing by driving. Freezing rain glazed roads in the Midwest, where at least three traffic deaths in Iowa were blamed on the weather. And windy weather in New England could create snags. More than 40 million people plan to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to AAA, with more than 1.6 million flying - a 3.5 percent increase from last year. At least some people said they decided not to fly at all, in part because of the airport * screening procedures. At an Amtrak station in Chicago, Pam Edwards said she decided to travel by train from Jackson, Miss., even though it would take 15 hours instead of two. "With all the things with the TSA, I just decided it might be a little bit easier, stress-wise, to take the train," the 61-year-old retired preschool teacher said as she stepped off the train. Edwards, who said she suffers from sleep apnea, travels with a machine to ease her breathing. She recalled her last flight and the hassle of being stopped by airport security because of the device. "I was thinking, I don't know if I want to go through that again," she said.
