I have beliefs and standards of modesty. I would feel assaulted and violated if my person was handled in public, especially by someone of the opposite sex. It's obviously in part a cultural thing. The Japanese, for instance, must tolerate constant almost physical contact with strangers, and therefore why should it bother them? But I do not like even hugs from anyone I'm not quite closely related to, and many people share my aversion to physical contact with strangers. I agree a pat-down is nothing to get hysterical about, but why should we be treated like criminals? We must kill the enemy, until we have killed enough of them that we can go back to knitting on airplanes if that's what we want to do.
