Furthermore, the TSA cannot ask them their sexual orientation. We are left to our own devices as to the reasonableness of the touching.
I sincerely believe that the severity of interference with individual liberty and privacy that WBI and Enhanced Patdowns pose cannot be understated. Furthermore, as the primary level of security, it is more intensive and extensive than is necessary to detect threats. And finally, we cannot guarantee that it is done in good faith by the TSO actors. Therefore, I must reject this method of screening. These measures were instituted recently and I cannot reasonably elect not to fly in the near future due the unalienable right to my "pursuit of happiness"* [read: income]. I believe these methods are unconstitutional. Hence, I believe that it is my duty as a citizen to pursue every avenue possible to have these overturned. This includes using tools in the Judiciary, Executive, and Legislative Branches, as well as the 4th Branch.
