I've been thinking about my incident very carefully. I don't believe I was over-reacting. I do believe what happened to me was not a pat-down. It was an assault. it was done by a poorly trained, possibly malicious, TSA person.

it was totally inappropriate and shouldn't have happened. I was compliant. I was respectful. I will not take drugs to just get pass security. But I will continue to write my elected public officials. I will do what's in my power to make changes in the "protocols" of an agency that has loss all sense of its purpose. This is what I can do.
