Private Room "Resolution Pat-Down" Video

What's really incredible is that the clerks allowed the guy's wife to film it.

Yes, they do fondle your crotch numerous times.

Yes, it's disgusting.

No, they will NEVER do this to me.

Great find! For some reason I can't get audio from YouTube videos. Do we know what prompted the invitation to the back room?

I didn't see anything in the video that would need to be done in a private room. If the TSA is embarrassed to touch passengers in that way in public, that's not my problem and maybe they need to reevaluate their procedures. Especially when an ETD swab false alarm is one of the ways to get this resolution pat down.

That's exactly the reason. The TSA doesn't want the American People to see their clerks fondling someone's plumbing with the front of their hands (as if the back of the hands make it any less intrusive).

Agree, if what TSA is doing isn't decent for the public eye then TSA shouldn't be doing it.

Cop frisks (true 'patdowns') are on TV every night. Ask an LE how many weapons (and what kind) they've missed because they didn't swipe a suspect's genitals 3 times in each direction with open palms.

Events in DEN proved that no one - other pax or fellow TSOs - gets upset or thinks there's anything unusual when a male TSO open-palms a male pax's genitals in public. A TSO did it repeatedly and no one - not even another TSO - questioned it.

What about a female then? I would never even be able to "spread" legs that the male TSA asked of the male passenger.:

Cops generally don't search for underwear bombs.

Underwear bombs don't generally work.
If TSA wants to claim that such patdowns are to locate "underwear bombs" then they should be doing these patdowns to everyone as the body scanners are not capable of detecting them.

I had the same problem, but it was easy fix. Go to Internet Options, advanced settings, multimedia, enable codecs and play sound on webpages. The sound comes on when you reload any youtube.
