Being 17, she had no idea what that meant and how intense a… detailed full-body pat down can be. Even when she began to cry, the TSA agent continued the pat down. My daughter felt molested and humiliated and as a parent I was helpless to stop this violation. Also, the gentleman behind her had a full body pat down… However his pat down was not as intense as my daughter’s.”
If possible, turn around and walk away, and don't fly. That's the greatest power.

When enough people do this, change is inevitable.
