Well, I think it is a big deal when I had to waste an extra 20 minutes of my time getting the extra attention...(this after being made to wait about the same for the original grope)...and I really think it is a big deal when the TSO put his hand on my pennies!

It's also a big deal that my tax dollars are being used to abuse to me and anyone else who happens to want or need to fly!!!

Then throw in the cavalier attitude of the folks paid to abuse us and, well, I better stop now before being sent to the penalty box.
