(sigh) Yes.
Particularly children. I regularly hear "they" are so evil that "they" will even use old people, women, mentally handicapped and children to do "their" dirty work. That's the excuse for frisking women and old people in disproportionately high numbers. Doesn't explain why, from a security standpoint, we excuse children. Particularly when Pistole has made it clear, security trumps personal dignity.
Of course, "they" also seldom use POS or steroid jocks to do "their" work - that must be why we so seldom see POS or steroid jocks getting groped.
