No.

Not a strawman argument.
You compared a stomach as the same as a breast. It is not.

You and/TSA are not medical professionals.

Doctors and EMT only perform the 'check on my chest' When I am in an accident. They do NOT check anyone they 'randomly' perceive to have injuries. And furthermore, not everyone that visits a doctor will have the possibility to be called out for a breast/phallic check.
*I*, the patient, make an appointment and request that kind of exam.

There is no comparison. When you are in an accident and the paramedics check your chest for flail or other injuries involving personal areas, are you going to object? There are doctors and other professionals too that have to perform in this area of discomfort to the recepient everyday. They treat it like it is without any stigma attached to it.
