Case closed: people who would rather drive than fly -- at 10X the risk -- than fly after TSA groping


Case closed: people who would rather drive -- at 10X the risk -- than fly after TSA groping. Question: how many would rather risk driving -- if all other things (e.g., time and expense) could be equal -- to avoid intimate peeking or touching by strangers?

$11,000 fine for opting out of both and leaving the airport without waiting (who knows how long -- you are not missing a plane anymore) to be questioned (not that you have to answer questions :-]): way, way over the probable cause line (if they had probable cause they could hold you rule or no rule); imagine the same law in any other setting. Not like terrorists will not expect to be body searched.

Additionally the fine pressures (I believe the constitutional law phrase is "chills") Fourth Amendment rights to opt out of both experiences if you did not expect to be body searched -- or to be to repulsed by it.

Wonder how many cases -- more like what percentage -- of temporary sexual dysfunction are caused by too personal groping of women especially in public view, even because in view of family or friends?
