What other kind of strip search is there?
They say they have members of the same sex do the “rub down”. But what if that person is gay? Or what if the person receiving the rub down is gay?
Can a gay person request a member of the opposite sex to do the rub down?
Can a “victim” of the rub down request the sexual preference of the person doing the rub down?

Is there a list?
Notice that the “Enhanced Pat Down” is only utilized where the Naked Body Scan is rolled out. People naturally object to the Naked Body Scan, so the TSA is starting with the new Grope and Feel standard in order to make the Naked Body Scan the less offensive option.
So we can conclude that the “Enhanced Pat Down” does not serve a legitimate security function, but is just a way to herd people into the Naked Body Scan line. Otherwise, the TSA would be employing the Enhanced Pat Down procedure at all airports, even if the Naked Body Scan is not available there.
This is petty coersion, plain and simple.
The New T&A “You know you like it!” initiative.. just refining the process to the threat at hand uhh..
Just think of Janet Napolincompetento’s smiling face next time you go thru it. She doesn’t fly commercial.. I could be wrong.
What freedoms do we have left? security cams everywhere, physical friskdowns to travel, your ‘wireless being’ exposed for all to grab hold of?
where does it stop? and where is it going? chip implants? they can already track ya for gps thru your cell phone..
“We have received minimal complaints”.....
The complaints are obviously not getting thru to the parties who can do something.
The TSA persons on the floor are going to go postal sooner or later. They re caught inbetween the rock & the hard place.
In this case, we can count on the natural laziness of the TSA employees to ensure that they will lose interest in the Enhanced Pat Down technique, after the novelty of sticking their hands down people’s pants wears off.
In a couple of weeks they’ll be back to waving a magnetometer wand in your general direction while yakking with their co-workers about Fantasy Football...

I am definitely wearing a cup on my next flight.

Most importantly, are Business Class travelers guaranteed a "happy ending"?
. . .this is just another level of ‘the nudge’ against the citizenry. . .should/when/if. . .we settle in with this; expect more and worse. . .
We all need to demand of our new Congress to pass a law that states:
“Any and all laws/regulations passed by our ‘law makers’ will apply to every citizen, including the ‘law makers.”
Just think, if they’d upload the images to the internet and charge people to watch, it would probably pay for the TSA and then some. (This is supposed to be humor)
From what I've seen of the TSA at the airports I fly from and to, that's a trip that won't take very long for some of those slack-jowled, drowling, fat-@assed morons.
trick is not to take it with you - or to take the battery out when traveling from point a to b and back again/
“enhanced pat-downs” good for average citizens.
Waterboarding not good for murdering terrorists.
