But even if that's true, how do you know that even before the whole body imagers came to be, some weird TSO wasn't getting their jollies from patting down passengers of the same gender?
This is precisely the problem I (and, I suspect, a few others) have with the strip-search machines and gropings. Given that there is no way to protect us from these pervs, the only sensible alternative is to deny them the opportunity, which means to stop these disgusting practices except in the very few cases when there is no other way to resolve an alarm.
Furthermore, I believe that both me and my wife were victims of such pervs. Yes, we both tried to complain, but receive the standard barrage of TSA threats.
BTW, sexual battery laws (at least in California) do not specify the gender of either the victim or the offender.
