As a former federal prosecutor, I was outraged at receiving scrotal palpation (left, right, and perineal aspects) during my last trip as a "punishment" for declining the "voluntary" shoe removal.

No, I did not complain at the scene. But I would encourage all victims to e-mail their stories to this reporter.

Many people believe that the body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit; these actions are a defilement of one's body and chastity. Others have a healthy agnostic respect for the value of each individual's uniqueness, and the fact that in our constitutional system, government comes from the consent of the governed

We do not consent to these indignities!

With publicity, the public will come to soundly reject these actions that are being conducted in their name.

The politics will follow.
