There's no excuse for such disgusting, un-American harassment without probable cause. If possible, report the name of your harasser(s) when making your complaint.

That wasn't intel. That was someone's idea of unpredictable screening. It really just delays and annoys passengers, and probably annoys the TSA staff who have to do it.
In the meetings when these measures are announced, nobody asks, "How will this help or protect our passengers?"

Well now there's a change. Usually the TSA pats itself on the back.

I received a back pat down 2 weeks ago in Redmond, OR. My husband received on in Atlanta, GA last Friday. In Redmond it was a female TSA and she checked my back and the lady behind. I am not sure if others backs were patted down or not. In Atlanta, I went through and was not subjected to the back pat down. My husband followed me and had his back patted down...it was a male TSA agent. So I am wondering what this new "back pat down" is all about and if it has to be female-female and male-male.

Sure, no problem.
"No problem, anything for you buddy
" works, too.That wasn't intel. That was someone's idea of unpredictable screening. It really just delays and annoys passengers, and probably annoys the TSA staff who have to do it.
