I look at that picture and I hear Austin Powers yelling, "JUDO CHOP!"

Second base is generally understood to be "the fondling of naked genitalia and breasts, either under clothing or while fully exposed."

From OP's thread title, I thought we had the first demonstrated case of TSA screening clerks reaching into a passenger's underwear to clear a threat item. Oh well, I'm sure that will be happing soon enough.

Well, they already reach into your pants. Next they'll claim you could hide something inside your bulky underpants. Resist now!

While "2nd base" always includes that, it also includes touching those body parts above clothes in such a way as may, or may be intended to, sexually stimulate an individual.

I thought going below the belt was third base. Have I been going through life with the wrong scorecard?

And the date in the URL (09/08). But that photo seems to confirm what the resident TSOs are telling us: there's no major difference in the standard pat-down; what's different is that more people are receiving it (those who previously would have gotten an HHMD search).

I'm not sure how a single still image informs how an entire pat down procedure is done.

Was chatting w/ someone who was at SMD2 (don't remember who), & she mentioned that when she opted out & went through the patdown that the agent pulled her pants forward & backward from her body & looked down inside her pants, both front & back! I would have gone ballistic at that point.

Cheers.

No, she isn't terrorist. She is nicest person in the world. TSA is an inappropriate to touching with her body. That's not good from TSA! They will gets disciplinary actions against TSO. Don't you realize know a couple years ago and TSA cannot allowed to touching with her body & breasts.
