Source, go through the body scanners at the TSA. Worn down, can't be bothered to "echo FUUUUUUUU > /dev/null" any more.

Surely this mostly depends on what you care about? Refusing to unlock a device at the border has much heavier (potential) consequences than requesting an alternate search, but I think there are a lot of people who willingly go through body scanners and wouldn't unlock a device.
