Neither of my last two "No ID" secondaries involved any physical cocntact between me and the screeners.
That's the beauty of the puffer, my friend!

I believe the OP was requesting a private search, and pat-down in lieu of going through the metal detector, though. And that surely will get you groped!

Wouldn't this require a change of law? which at least one side of Congress at present state would be unable to pass based on ideology? I thought TSA screeners were still arbitrarily capped at 45,000 regardless of number of traveling passengers. Seems more likely the actions would encourage the congressional members to enact changes more in line with with the OP desires.

Depends on the stranger!
