(Note that I have no metal there and his wand didn't beep. It was totally at his own initiative.)

I stared at him in disbelief, then asked his two coworkers if this guy makes a habit of touching men there. I walked a very fine line but pretty clearly let everybody know that he was apparently homosexual and getting his jollies out of screening passengers. He was fuming, but I made my point. He also touched me there, just as he said he would. I wasn't too happy about it.
