Are they doing these pat downs in the open to embarrass us into going through the machine?
From now on I'll go through Terminal C, especially when traveling with my wife, I can't imagine subjecting her to a similar pat down, she'd never fly again.
Please post this concern at the TSA Blog.
TSA is hyping rolling out 150 more backscatter STRIP SEARCH machines because of successful 98% acceptance by the public.
Thats $25 million taxpayer dollars so we can either comply or get felt up by some GED educated TSA employee.
