When someone other than my wife puts their hands all over my torso and belt line, it is groping. PERIOD

Typical TSA copout. The criteria is 1". If the screener is not smart enough to determine 1" of thickness, they should be fired. There is no judgement at all, it's either 1" or it is not.

The soles of my shoes are 3/4" thick. If I am sent to secondary by a screener not smart enough to determine 1" of thickness, it is retaliatory.

You are correct, I do not work for the TSA. I know far to much about REAL security to lower myself to that level. Anyone with one ounce of security knowledge knows that there are many more places to hide explosives than the soles of shoes. Focusing on shoes and defending that focus shows you and your agency to be frauds.
