It is not an excuse for any person (TSA/Police/Physicians/Nurses/etc.) but maybe more of an explanation.
So true. We are all different. I see red when a stranger touches me. If I go to a MD. then it is different. I might not like but I made an appointment.plus that MD ( I hope) has an education.
TSA is hired a lot of times from a pizza box???!!! And they THINK they are going to touch my "privates" without" me having a comment.
