As previous posters have noted, this was not a standard procedure pat-down. It seemed more like a cursory pat-down, or the pat-downs of old.

I recently had a pat-down complete with karate chops up to the groin (the TSA's more standard procedure of late), leaving me sore for several hours afterward. The only thing that would have added to this humiliation is to have it filmed and posted on youtube, complete with my face exposed. I don't doubt that the OP's intentions are good, as far as wanting the TSA's molestations exposed, but you shouldn't be doing it on the backs of people who have no say in the matter. (And yes, I'm aware of public places and whose side the law is on, so if you want to invoke the legal argument, I'm sure you're on solid ground. But from the human perspective, I think you are much less so.)

If you're that concerned about exposing the TSA's molestations to the world, I would suggest you round up some friends of yours, both male and female, who don't mind being filmed, and buy some cheap tickets out of O'Hare for the same airline on the same day around the same time. Then take turns so that one of you is always opting out while someone else is filming. Post them all on youtube at the end of the day. But please don't do this to random strangers. It's a double violation of them (again, from the human perspective).
