Of course sexual assault is not a non event. But sorry, sexual assault is an actual legal term, and until someone has some case law that shows that some court somewhere agrees that the pat downs constitute sexual assault, they ain't.
So to answer your questions as to the facts of what happens in the pat downs, is someone brushing against your genitalia through the outside of your pants during a pat down a non event, yeah, yeah it is.
Then I guess I had a "non-event" at LAX last week.
It was also a "non-event" that the guy was rude/disparaging, had his tongue hanging out of his mouth flapping and saying "I thought it was for her" directed at the women behind me when I had clearly told -HIM- that -I- was opting out...
I'm not quite sure what you're saying happened here. Sounds like it boils down to the guy was rude? Yeah, that's not a non-event. A minor event though.
LAX was hell on earth, I almost punched the guy groping me. I almost did ... I came "THAT" close to it. Then I would've been in prison. This is probably the closest in my life I've come to committing a federal crime ... just to use public transportation, just to make a living. Ahh yes, another "non-event". Almost 20 years in prison for me and it's a "non-event" ... -THAT CLOSE- man. I'm not going to put up with this .....
why did you almost punch the guy?
I have no idea what I'm going to do if my children are required to fly before these policies are fixed. The TSA isn't molesting my children and nor is it irradiating them, I'll tell you that much ... it's not going to happen.
So don't fly them anywhere. Plenty of people never fly- what would "require" your children to fly?
It won't be me, I'll be avoiding flying...
why are there so many non-flyers here on flyertalk complaining about TSA?
