Agreed, and well said.

TSA asked him to raise his arms above his head for the full-body scanner at Sacramento International Airport, he could not comply.
and
At the airport, bystanders stared as the TSA security screener looked under Kemnitz’s medals, ran his hands under the Marine’s waistband and swabbed his shoes for explosives.
This is what happens to hundreds if not thousands of us daily at TSA checkpoints. It shouldn't come as a surprise to people reading TS&S that this is the normal outcome for many of us every single day, regardless of our gender, race, nationality, or career choice.

And the article should have been clear that the outcome was no different that it would be for anyone else who has similar issues. In fact, I think that he got off very lightly, based on past experience.
