Older people have thinner, less elastic tissue, and are thus easier to injure. Anyone on aspirin, plavix, coumadin, lovenox, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, etc. can bruise and bleed much more easily, not to mention those with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia. If any of my patients develop an injury due to this "enhanced" patdown, I will be happy to testify in their civil lawsuit and/or class action suit, not to mentional any criminal trial.
This latest TSA idiocy is a revolting violation of human respect and dignity.
