This is ridiculous. If you don't want to fly - don't be screened- and don't fly.
A prostate exam is invasive and most would say a bit of a privacy invasion. If you don't want one, don't get one - you make your choices.
As far as crew, I think the problem is the flight attendants. You constantly hear cogent arguments from pilots about having top secret security clearances in the military, responsibility for nuclear weapons, and last (and most importantly), control of the aircraft. These are all very valid points - for the flight deck crew. The problem is that when we talk crew we have to include FA's - who also have cockpit access. That, in my opinion, is the proverbial can of worms that is the real problem.

Maybe "We have 50 states, and I can get from Philadelphia to any of them in three hours, and all I need to do is pay a day's wages and have my knickers touched and lift my powdered wig in public? Amazing!"
