Thought about this, and here's where this entire process breaks down (in general). Consider the perspective of an LEO or prosecutor, when they hear this story:

I went to a bar (airport), and attempted to enter the property. I was told that to enter, I had to submit to a physical search, yet was not told the details of what that would entail. I was told that I could stop the search at any time, and I could stop the attempt to enter the bar (airport). I consented to a search, they touched my penis five times, yet I didn't stop them after the first time, leave the premises, or talk to a law enforcement officer. I did not stop the search, or attempt to leave. They then told me I had failed a test, and had to have another physical search, and they touched my penis another five times. I then passed the physical inspection, entered the property, and had a drink (flew a plane). A few hours later, I've decided to request a written police report, to press charges, for sexual assault.

If you are told you can just walk away, and you don't just walk away, can any law enforcement or prosecutors jump in, and tell us how you'd react to that story?
