Pat-downs get a little less friendly

Policies regarding full-body checks at airport screening - which
generated mountains of complaints, mostly from women - will get
a slight revision Monday. .....

So the large number of complaints actually had an effect, small but
noticeable. So if people want to have more of an effect, I have two
suggestions. First, continue to complain in writing about groping.
Second, if a screener demands to grope you - and assuming you
have some time to burn - demand in return that they take you to a
private room where you will remove the offending clothing so the
same-sex screener can see that you are hiding nothing. If enough
of us do that, their efficiency numbers will plummet and they will be
forced to retreat even further on their groping policies.

Or, better still, move to a Country where security is handled sensibly.
