"My frequent-flyer friend told me that he has noticed two things since the groping started. First, he has seen the attitude of TSA employees change with the new procedures. In his words, 'they seem more like East German police' than they used to. Second, other frequent flyers are getting upset. Going through the Syracuse airport a couple of weeks ago, my friend commented during a TSA grope, 'This is stupid.' The groper replied, 'If you keep this up, I'll call the police and have you arrested.'" (07/02/11)

What happened to Fourth Amendment to the constitution. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures."
WHen was a nail clipper ever a weapon except in the minds of an TSA agent.
They get to grope us AND steal our belongings. Win win for the TSA agents, loss for all travelers thinking the TSA is in place to keep us safe and secure.
