You can opt out. I did, traveling to UK two years ago. You have to wait for an agent of your sex to be available to do a pat-down. Annoying person wanted to know why I wanted this--I replied, "Because it's my right"

Just another of their bullying tactics, I suppose. Too bad for them. They are paid to do this. I utterly hate the Leidos facial recognition machines: raise your face so we can record it (Dublin airport, Nov. ‘22)

I have also done this , but they make you feel like a criminal with the waiting, then the looks, then the questions and then the pat down.

SAS airlines at Dulles Airport April 2023 did facial recognition on me.
I have never had any questions asked. I just wait pleasantly and if people ask I say "I don't walk through those." And leave it at that.
