Interesting that TSA prefers to have women do the hands on work with children.

Just how many children are getting groped? Why should a little boy (or an 11-year-old boy) feel more comfortable getting groped by a woman?

I can understand why women get groped more frequently than men - TSA's well known hangup, sorry, inability to get a clear scan on mastectomy patients, bras, and sanitary products. But I can't think of any reason why more young girls (particularly pre-puberty) would require a grope more often than young boys.

It just contributes to a management structure that is disproportionately male.
