I think saying "touch my junk and I will have you arrested" would be considered to be intimidation. But I think "touch my junk and I will have an organism" would be considered free speech.

my plan
After much thought I have decided that (from the female perspective) the most effective form of protest is to freeze when they start the pat down, followed by the blank stare of my PTSD and silent tears. When they are done I will remain frozen in my catatonic state, clearly reliving past traumas, unable to move, tears rolling down my face as they say ma'am, ma'am, and contemplate whether to call the police or EMS.
I can't imagine anything makig them more uncomfortable. Maybe I'll start to shake as well.

Recite the preamble to the Constitution of the United States.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. . . .
Or the Declaration of Independence.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. . . .

Or the Fourth Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

When they stepped over the line a few years ago and they were obsessed with women's breasts and fought the underwire war, I sang at full voice while getting pat down, "America", emphasizing the words "liberty" and "freedom":
My Country Tis of Thee
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of Thee I Sing
Land Where My Father Died
Land of the Pilgrims' Pride
From Every Mountainside
Let Freedom Ring
My Country Tis of Thee
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of Thee I Sing
Land Where My Father Died
Land of the Pilgrims' Pride
From Every Mountainside
Let Freedom Ring

Oh c'mon people. Use your imagination.
Go as a group of five. One dressed as a Native American, one as a cowboy, one as a construction worker, one as a biker, and one as soldier. TSA will supply the "cop."
Or if someone is good with prose and/or poetry, have then rewrite the words to "YMCA" (maybe call it "Why TSA?")

"Flier, there's no need to feel down
I said, Flier, we'll have you off of the ground
I said, Flier, cuz you're fresh meat to me
There's a happy ending, guarentee
You wanna fly but say Why, TSA?
You wanna fly but say Why, TSA?
You can think yourself safe, in your bare stocking feet
But you're not safe til we've squeezed your meat....."

Learn this 1930's song:
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"
Merve Griffin did a good job of it here:
Ya gotta listen:
http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGdWPKZu...fv=nf670orHKcA
sing along:
I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS
(Fred Hetherton)
Recorded by:
Cliff Adams, Billy Cotton & His Band, Merv Griffin, Danny Kaye,
London Pub, Freddy Martin, Norfolk Singers, Tessie O’Shea,
Mel Torm.
Down at an english fair one evening I was there
When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
**********************
Heck, Can't you just imagine a whole room full of passengers awaiting security breaking out into that song? It could become a new airline passenger anthem, or swan song for rights and liberty.
