...not questioning the clerk about the definition of "resistance." I believe that this is a vital part of any opt-out frisking encounter. You don't need to get in a clerk's face about it. all you have to do it to press him/her to tell you what body parts, by anatomically correct name, they are going to touch and not touch. My personal experience and observations are that the clerks are instructed not to repeat the name of the body part or the term "genitals." He/she will quickly call over a supervisor. The supervisor will immediately deflect the conversation by asking two well-rehearsed questions:

1. Do you want a private screening?
2. Do you intend to complete the screening process?

So, you are going to have to keep pressing your question. It's amazing how well-trained they all are on this aspect of Security Theatre! Every once in a while, you will get a supervisor to bust a gasket. I fully understand that everyone is not prepared or interested in a confrontation. I accept that, but, everytime we do nothing, we send the message that silence is consent.
