GG, I was just beginning to warm up to the idea that TSA really had gone too far...but then you went extremist on me again! Unwelcome contact, sure. But this is by no means sexual contact. The use of the words coercion and threat also imputes motives that I do not think are fairly attributable to airport screening.

My point is to say that the rhetoric used in the fight against these procedures bears directly on the attitudes of those who might be willing to join the fight...
