Woman on TSA pat downs: 'I feel molested'

Woman on TSA pat downs: 'I feel molested': "Miernik said the worst experience she had came when her 7-year-old granddaughter was at the airport with her. When her granddaughter saw the pat down, “She went ‘Grandmama, they touched you on your special girl spots.’”
Miernik was mortified, as was her granddaughter, she said.. She believes the pat downs are unnecessarily intrusive, and she hasn’t even experienced the “more aggressive” pat downs the TSA started employing Oct. 29.
“If this happened to me in college on a date, I would have called the police,” Miernik said.
TSA, though, has maintained the aggressive pat downs are an important measure in preventing any exploding device from making it onto a plane.
On Saturday, President Obama said the pat downs “cause huge inconveniences for all of us,” adding that he “understood people’s frustrations.”
Miernik said she once wrote a letter to TSA complaining about the pat downs. She said they responded that, as an American, she didn’t have to submit to the body scanners or the pat downs. They added, though, that she would have to find a different form of transportation."

Ok this has got to stop. What is the amount of explosives it takes to bring down an airliner? ALOT (more than can be found in someone's pants)!!! I thought so.
