Love the Flyertalk forums - very informative!
Anything can trigger a gropedown from the smurfs, including their pure whim.
They don't have to justify their actions to you - and the resulting attitude from them makes them dangerous to themselves and anyone near them.
The TSA is currently comprised of three types of employees:
1) Thieves, molesters, and other actual criminals.
2) People who enjoy the illusion of authority they are granted by their spiffy blue shirt, and enjoy lording it over the passengers.
3) People who simply can't get a job anywhere else for lack of ambition or qualifications.
There are those who
claim they're trying to change the TSA from the inside, but they've shown absolutely no results whatsoever while the TSA continues its steep decline into jackbootery.
End result: if you want to guarantee that you are not molested by the TSA, do not go where they are. This includes airports, train stations, bus stations, and other public locations.
