The key words are "inappropriately done with a sexual or lewd intent".
Unless the TSO makes some remark like, "Wow! I love fondling your johnson", there is no way to prove lewd intent during a pat down. This is quite a different situation than if a strange man walks up to you on the street and starts playing with it.
I'm assuming that there will be arrests involved while that's being worked out. It will be funny to see a stream of TSA clerks being taken out in handcuffs. And that will be at least a good short term deterrent.
