My 9 to 5 job is being immersed in the media and I read a lot of news articles from the US. I've heard murmurings about this sort of thing but I didn't think it was felt to be widespread.

It's a major worry for many a constitutionalist who see the errosion of civil liberities with how TSA does it's goping (the famous 'Don't touch my junk' cry) of little Children that if anyone else did it, they would be charged with Child Molestation or Sexual Assault. The last time i flew was in 2009, and the TSA wasn't anywhere near as bad as it is now. But they gave me problems over the metal that holds my legs together. They had me taking off my leg and backbraces and wand scanning me over and over and just not listening that i was pinging because my left thigh is a metal rod that goes from hip socket to knee and that my right knee and upper tib and fib are made of metal. They where grabbing and touching me in ways that my doctors didn't even touch me. And this was WELL before the current regulations.
That is what scares and worries us.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
