It's only a matter of time before this ends in a lawsuit. Or a TSO gets his teeth kicked in by a sexual assault victim whose PTSD comes raging back while being groped at a checkpoint.
As a non-lawyer, I would only observe that it will wind up in court only if we bring it there.
I really don't expect anyone to reign in the TSA. ExtortionCheck has worked like a charm so those most likely to get in their faces will never experience this.

All of us who fly frequently and who don't have ExtortionCheck need to be ready to film one of these assaults and post it on YouTube. My iPhone is cranking and at the ready.
... I remember posting that We, the People, would pay dearly for the TSA's failures. The subtitle in the Bloomberg article states:
The TSA reacts to a study that found weapons making it past security.
