Abuses Continue
 
Sure sounds like punitive behavior on the part of the TSA involved:

...somewhere during that pat down, she honestly karate chopped my, ahem, lady parts. Hard. Not just once or twice, but four times. I was so thrown off the first time that I actually let out a little yelp.
Yep. That does sound punitive.

So much for the regular crew of blueshirts claiming "no genital contact" during their so-called "pat-down."

thanks for posting that. TSA keeps winning hearts and minds, one karate chop at a time.

And yet some posters on these forums get on my case for using the term "mauling the sex organs" to describe what is happening to people.

Sodden thought: remember the old handheld/lap held radar guns police used to use, the ones that emitted radiation? generated lots of testicular cancer cases leading to their abandonment, too late for some LEOs.

I'm waiting for the same thing to develop for the smurfs in front of the backscanners all day.

The Abuses -- Just ONE of the Reasons Not to Fly
 
The abuses and punitive behavior is against both male and female passengers -- and they continue unabated. This is one of the reasons I no longer fly. So far have canceled one trip and declined several others. I can't believe the numbers are going to be good for the airlines going into the first quarter of the year as people find out what is going on.
