TSA has no excuse to continue the groping:
Thieving agents, racial profiling and excessive pat-downs haven't made us safer. [..] Thousands of TSA agents continue roaming airports as part of the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT) program, conducting "Chat-downs" And ferreting out "Micro-expressions" That signal trouble. TSA's secret checklist of dangerous traveler traits, which recently leaked out, includes yawning, throat clearing, "Wringing of hands," "Widely open staring eyes," And gazing down. Ref. Source 8f
It is in my opinion that the TSA is just fancy window dressings and do not really protect us from any terrorists at all. IT is just the government using this as a excuse to trample on our rights at Airports, ports and train stations. Next they will be expanding it into other places all in the name of keeping us safe.
TSA full-body pat-down of daughter, 10, angers dad

People may get frustrated with the TSA but that's a whole lot of guns to be taking off a plane someone's family and friends might be traveling!.
