Is it actually sexual assault, or do you think it should be?
If it feels wrong, invasive or threatening or is coercive and pertains to your body, it is sexual assault. I would imagine that the vast majority of travelers who have to go through a TSA grope, especially a resolution grope, feel wronged, threatened, invaded and coerced.
The latest of the PANYNJ (or maybe it's NYPD or NJT) "see something, say something" commercials say to the effect of "if something feels wrong, it probably is wrong."
A psychologist will tell you that if your instincts make you feel that something is not right, your instincts are correct. Listen to them.
Groping of passengers' genitals, buttocks and breasts is wrong, wrong, wrong.
I applaud the OP for standing up for what is right.
