TSA officers don’t like the new aggressive pat-downs of passengers either.
“I truly feel that it is morally and ethically wrong to do it,” the agent noted. “This does not make flying safer. It’s just taking away American citizens rights.”
And all the horror stories at other airports only make things worse.
“If you do it properly, you’re not touching the genitalia. But there is so much room for error, that’s where the problem comes because you’re in such close proximity of the areas that you are checking, it could happen.”
And some officers are more aggressive than others.
