Technically, but as a female I'd let that one go and search him.

This one is so obviously not doing it to abuse or get a thrill. Also looks passably female

I personally hope that the TSA agent got the option to opt out. I don't think any woman should be forced to pat down a man's groin when that wasn't part of her job description.

But is it really up to you to rewrite the TSA rules and unilaterally decide what female TSA staff now must do?

Those are some superb mind-reading skills you've got there, mate. Is your name Layla Moran?

I find it offensive that you think female workers should have to forfeit their rights in the case of male people whose skills at impersonating the opposite sex by mimicking the most sexist stereotypes satisfy your superficial standards.

You are advocating that the world redefine what half the human race is based on a sexist, misogynistic form of lookism. This is a very anti-woman stance.

It should be up to the agent. Which is why I said I'd search him.

It's also a little insulting to suggest the average woman can't spot an agp perv. They don't pass even at 200 yards in the dark.
