Unwanted touching in the name of airport security IS a big deal
Daily Breeze Article
"But all in all I'm glad she made it through without getting felt up or developing HGS, Homeland Gestapo Syndrome. Have you heard about this? On the day before my daughter lost seven bucks worth of Swiss mayhem, we ran a New York Times story describing how newly heightened pat-down frequency has left some airline passengers, especially women, feeling angry, hurt and violated.
Apparently this new willingness on the part of airport security to fondle breasts and backsides is the direct result of those two Chechen women who were thought to have smuggled explosives aboard two Russian airliners that crashed, killing 90 people."

From the article:

I'm encouraged by the numbers of newspaper columnists and editorial writers who are voicing dissent with these ridiculous policies.
Funny how TakeScissorsAway predicted more than 2 months ago that this would be a huge issue. Many posters claiming employment by the TSA ridiculed him for overreacting.
Looks like an accurate prediction, if you ask me.
