If people were paying 10 dollars to fly, NO ONE would put up with this nonsense. But since they have large amounts of money and time wrapped up in these fares they refuse to disobey because it would cost them a fortune. There is a make-break point here in terms of dollars. Under that point everyone would refuse to be groped or x-rayed. Over that common sense takes over. They are not going to throw their money away just to prove a point.
It's as simple as that.

Obama: TSA's Nude Screening a Necessary Inconvenience
The Milgram Experiment, as disturbing as it was, is only part of the story. Further experiments have been conducted which give us cause to be encouraged. For example, the Sherman experiment, which was similar to Milgram, except that the subjects were given an opportunity in advance to reflect on the ethical dimensions of certain acts. When they were later asked to perform those acts, two thirds refused. Our TSA agents are more like Sherman’s people than Milgram’s, because the horridness of the molestations is being daily held before them; the moral recalibration of the Sherman process is occurring.
May I also suggest (as I did in that other thread) that we could enhance and accelerate the Sherman Effect if we could find individuals in or near the TSA organization and personally walk them through some moral reflection on their actions. It is right to fear where the moral gullibility of our friends and neighbors in the TSA could lead, but we are not the Weimar Republic. We have travelled a different path to get where we are now, we have much better resources, and a much better chance at mass public education to counteract the propaganda than they did. Contrary to the prediction of the Milgram Experment, this does not have to end badly.
I posted this about a week ago:
I saw a headline on Drudge and the new TSA checks were referred to as ‘sexual harrassment’.
It is actually a sexual ASSAULT.
It is also PEDOPHILIA AND CHILD MOLESTATION.
Also, the tsa workers remind me of the Milgram study in the 1970’s where students were instructed to shock fellow students that were wired up-even though they felt it was completely wrong and went against everything they believed. The students that did the shocking were compared to Germans who blindly followed Hilter and did what they were told.
“Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority”

I was thinking about the TSA people and wondered how they can practically molest people- men, women, children, cancer survivors with prosthetics and urostomy bags- without having any seeming remorse and remembered the Milgram study. This is that study in action, people. It is only going to get worse and involve more groups of people in authority.
