One of the common themes that people keep mentioning in talking about the new TSA pat down procedures is that those involved must "enjoy" the groping they're giving people. But, of course, most TSA agents are normal every day people who don't actually want to grope random people. Chris Tolles points us to a post from BoardingArea.com, who reached out to some TSA agents and found that many TSA agents hate the new rules and find it to be sapping morale to have to grope passengers. Some of it appears to be the verbal abuse they're getting from travelers, but some of it is just the fact that they have to keep touching people they'd rather not touch in that way:
"It is not comfortable to come to work knowing full well that my hands will be feeling another mans private parts, their butt, their inner thigh. Even worse is having to try and feel inside the flab rolls of obese passengers and we seem to get a lot of obese passengers!"
Of course, it does seem like a lot of the "morale" part comes from everyone accusing them of molesting them. I recognize, they're not the ones making policy, but many of the people being groped do feel violated and it's not surprising that many of them speak out.

Keep it up, travelers....drive 'em to the point where they go on strike. Phock 'em.
And what about the travelers who enjoy being groped?
You don’t hear much discussion of that either, do you?
Wait till we start hearing about people going TSA on a work place
Sure
I sorta borrowed the pic you posted on another thread.
Awww, poor TSA agents. They have to feel up F-A-T people and they are getting a lot of FAT people. Sorry we all can’t be your idea of fit and glamorous. Sorry you have to feel up OLD people. I guess OLD, FAT people are the worst. Then there are the ones with PROSTHETICS. Cry me a river TSA.
Exactly! The enemy has revealed its weak point - now we know where to attack!

Only Gloria Allred... Search the forum here, you’ll find it.

TSA is already backpedaling on this BS.
Lets hang this policy around the Democrats collective necks!
Until that time, we make it as uncomfortable for them as possible. This has all just been another excuse for 0 to demonstrate his hatred for the American people. That TSA agents are starting to rebel over this means that we are winning.
Focus on searching the terrorists. Leave the American people and our children alone.
It’s time to see this from a different perspective and I don’t believe that anyone in that job enjoys the new procedures. Others have been too busy blaming the screeners when it’s clear they didn’t make up the new rules. This whole fiasco needs to be laid at the feet of the imbeciles in Washington....leave the screeners out of it. There will be some idiots abusing their positions but isn’t that true in ANY occupation? We will always have dolts among us.
Well, they are molesting them.
