Just was thinking about this from a different perspective.... What if you were a TSA agent and told to pat someone down like that?! I wouldn't do it. I would say you have to fire me before I grope strangers. Why don't some of these agents get out to the media and say they aren't comfortable with this, and stand up for something? I mean, really, can anyone really be ok with groping an 8 year old to see if they have bombs hidden in that area? It is pretty disgusting, so I just don't understand why the public and the pilots are revolting but the agents who have nothing to do with the policies and are told to do this are not saying a word.

Implants and artificial joints
Thousands of women with implants probably go through TSA every day. Who has them ? Is it silicon, water or some dangerous material inside ? How long before TSA has to find a way to answer those questions ?
Hip replacements, artifical knees, screws in broken bones, metal plates, flak from war injuries, etc. ; the stuff inside our bodies will soon become a fodder for the TSA grist mill.

The story had died but not long ago the TASA was asking for lists of veterans with diagnosed Post Traumatic Stress since they could be a "threat."

I spent a career in the military, sometimes at great risk, now to have the priviledge of watching a former car wash clerk grope my wife because she opted out of a scanning machine that may increase her risk of breast cancer.
I just watched the video of a three year old girl screaming "Don't touch me." at a TSA agent who who is running her hands all over the child.

This agency is getting out of hand. Where are our civil rights ?

TSA blog has some dated but interesting comments.
Like I said on a previous post and that is COMMON SENSE must be the rule of the day in regards to security.
