Agreed. There should be nothing sexual about a patdown, so why the TSA chooses to force same-gender is befuddling to me. Its almost like they are admitting, through this action, there is an element of sexual misconduct taking place and by using same gender TSOs they are somehow, in some delusional world, mitigating the sexual harassment risk.
