IMO this is calculated retaliation for Nov. 2. And the more we resist, the more they will up the ante. The head of the TSA has publicly made subtle threats about more retaliation if there is a mass opt out on the 24th.
I have to fly to FL in late January. I will not get x-rayed. And I will not get groped in private, i.e. without witnesses. They want to grab my Johnson, they are going to have to do it in front of everyone.
I will wear my Marine Corps Tee shirt, want to bet that will get me singled out for harassment?
If you are a white male, you are already singled out for harassment.
