My question is does opt out keep them from imaging your id in any way? Because my id already has my photo.

Probably not. But you have the right to opt out, so you should. Don't make it any more convenient for them to violate your rights than you have to, and if someone proves they're retaining data illegally, you could join a class action lawsuit.

If you comply, you might save a few minutes. Is that really worth it?
