Last week, Loopt announced its intentions to celebrate National Opt-Out Day by rewarding 10 travelers who opt out of body scans in favor of full-body pat-downs (and then check in via Loopt, of course) with a free iPod touch.

National Opt-Out Day is a protest planned by those who are against the TSA’s new security measures, which include full-body scanners (which show passengers fully naked) and invasive pat-downs administered to those who opt out of the scans. It's scheduled to go down tomorrow -- a.k.a. the day before Thanksgiving -- when airports are sure to be bustling.

Now it seems Foursquare wants its piece of the parody pie. According to About Foursquare, the unlock text reads: "Looks like you’ve had your baggage handled. Happy Holidays and have a safe flight!"
