Excerpt from Washington State law (RCW 7.90.010) regarding sexual assault:
(1) "Nonconsensual" means a lack of freely given agreement
(4) "Sexual conduct" means any of the following:
(a) Any intentional or knowing touching or fondling of the genitals, anus, or breasts, directly or indirectly, including through clothing
It seems that TSA is saying that in order to be allowed to board an aircraft you may be sexually assaulted (as legally defined above), e.g. intentionally touched on your genitals through your clothing without your consent, by TSA personnel. If this is not the case (i.e., that TSA specifically does not allow any touching of genital areas) then TSA should clearly state this in writing. I have been unable to locate such a statement by them.
