So you pay the $85 and they still grope ya?!
WTH!?
We just sent a reminder request into a big airline, asking when they will have their long-promised program of avoiding the groping and xrays. Their staff and their website said they’re implementing it for their frequent flyer customers, which would include us. But we’ve heard nothing further about it. So, we asked.
Following is the exchange. It is apparent that further communications are hopeless and we won’t be flying for quite awhile longer.

Hi nice Acme folks! Some time ago, your people said that
you’ll have a program enabling us to avoid the “groping” (security) exercise at
check-in. Could you please sign me up? We’d like to fly a lot more ....
Thank you!

2. The airline’s “answer:”
Thank you for your email to Acme Air Lines.
We would appreciate you providing additional information which will
allow us to process your request. Please provide us with the exact
nature of concern.
We appreciate your selection of Acme and will always welcome the
opportunity to be of service.
Sincerely,
Wile E. Agent

Hopefully, their pilots are more intelligent than their customer support personnel....
“Every terrorist will sign up for the program.”.
Goes to show you my theory was right, the TSA is indeed “brain dead”.
