That may be part of it, but another factor may be that there are a lot of other people like me. I would never, if it were humanly possible to avoid it, express my discomfort directly to the screener involved. I think most people posting here are all too aware that many, many screeners do not possess the demeanor and the professionalism to avoid retaliating against people who complain of hurt or injury during the grope.
It is also possible that the reason the poster's relatives are not seeing the complaints is because these two screeners are not sticking their fingers into women's vaginas, chopping men's testicles or busting people's medical devices. Perhaps they have somehow managed to avoid administering such aggressive gropes.
