Thank you Laxcoach! What you said, all of it bears repeating:

ditto.

I have a 3 year old girl and 7 year old boy. Parents spend so much time teaching them to be wary of strangers. We teach them that their body is theirs, and that their “privates” are private. We teach them that that only parents and doctors can see or touch them there if there is a medical problem.

Then, we are going to go to an airport and teach them that any schlub in police like uniform has the right to touch them all over?

I think not.

Let’s be really clear. These are not law enforcement officials. They are administrative officials performing administrative searches. This is not a police officer performing a law enforcement search due to probable cause or arrest. This is not a medical doctor performing a required medical procedure.

These are f_cking bureaucrats in a uniform that is supposed to make people believe they are cops, so that we will do as told.

I know case law says that REASONABLE administrative searches can be required. What I haven’t been told is where in the law it says that administrative searches supercede sexual battery laws.

Further, as a parent I have no right to say “sure touch my kids genitals” other than for medical and hygiene reasons. Without a law giving these bureaucrats the right to touch children’s genitals, they are LITERALLY molesting children.

Finally, if and when someone tries to pat down my kid(s), I will say no and I will demand to see a background check on anyone that wants to touch my child. I will also demand to have my phone so I can look up that person on the child molester registry.

I will teach my children that their bodies are their own, and I won’t let anyone grope them... damn the consequences in the short term. "
