Thanks. I don't necessarily want to start any particular kind of static with TSOs (though I will be prepared to complain if that happens), or give them a reason to be confrontational or retaliatory. I figure that if they ask about sensitive areas, I'll respond that I have nothing that's unusually sensitive, or that my "sensitive areas" are the same as everybody else's.
By the by, numerous people have stated that Pistole has said numerous times that a patdown according to SOP doesn't touch the genitals. Does anyone have a link to this, preferably from an official source or a major news organization? That would be nice information to have if I have to complain about those sorts of issues. Thanks.
I guess the main purpose of this thread is to get everything in one place, kind of an Opt-Out 101 if you will.
