This would be my goal. Make the pat down as uncomfortable for the person groping you as possible. If they're going to sexually assault me, then I'm going to tell them that I can't wait for their supple hands to jiggle my nuts.About 5 months ago I flew out of a small local airport...
Of the massive herd of people trying to get through the one metal detector they had, I got chosen and pulled to the side stalling everyone.... so the "potentially gay" trainee employee could physically search me with the FULL pat down...
and of course those casual questions "do you have any sore or sensitive areas"...
I couldn't stop myself from chuckling throughout the process
My wife made an interesting point yesterday. This completely excludes Muslim women from flying. They are not allowed to be touched that way or photographed naked. So, in a way, this has even become discriminatory. I smell juicy lawsuit.
What if they've got the same picture/name/address, etc, and it matches my face?^^^
one is ok... two will land you in jail...
good luck

The people that have no problem with the body scanners are sheep.
This is what I am talking about. I was expecting a lot more tin hats in this thread.
Scientists Question Safety Of New Airport Scanners : NPR
U.S. airport scanners pose skin cancer risks, doctors warn
I guess since I was stupid enough to forget that I don't want to fly that I will just go though the pat down. Ill have to try not to be a dick so I am not arrested, for not blending in with the other sheep.
Just a side note here but how many people recall their family doctors and dentists only taking x-rays when 100% needed. My doctors have always been weary of subjecting you to unnecessary radiation. Where is the lead apron for my balls at the airport?
And how long will it be until these things are at all public facilities? There is nothing keeping a terrorist from walking into the Mall of the Americas and blowing them selves up in the one of the kid play zones. What about Disney? Last time I was there they were just checking purses for weapons. You could have a shotgun strapped to your leg and they would never know. Give it a few years for people to accept the constant scanning and for costs of the machines to come down and they will be everywhere.
As long as we keep dealing with symptoms rather than the problem, much of what we do will be security theater. We need to be honest about and willing to address the core issues of why America has become a target for terrorism. And perhaps the most important issue that we still refuse to acknowledge is an interventionist U.S. foreign policy -- practiced by Democrats and Republicans alike -- that breeds resentment and hatred in the Muslim world.
