I've read horror stories mostly from women of having to go through 3 or 4 gropes by different screeners before being "cleared" - with no explanation being given.

It that were me, I'd tell them to get a warrant while I get a lawyer. If TSA screeners are so incompetent they can't clear someone after the first assault they don't get another chance without cause.
