Reply #84: I doubt very seriously that

you fly 0.00001% as much as I have over the past decade, including recently. Yes, I have experienced all of this first hand, (though fortunately never the type of genital groping that has been described in many incidents)--in the US and overseas, including in the ME. No country has ever sent a security employee groping down my underwear. That is the absolute abuse without prior cause-- that some, seem willing to defend. Whre does it end? When they deem it necessary to complete a vaginal or anal exam with a camera probe?

The terrorists really have won when I am subjected to far less intrusiveness (let alone what passes incredibly close to sexual assault) in terror-accustomed countries like France and G. Britain , as well as in the ME, than in my own so-called "democratic" Republic.
