Except that over years of flying I was never patted down, and since the naked scan has started, I've been through that more than the metal detector (6 times v. 2 times in the last two months). This thing was supposed to be used for additional screening, in place of more invasive searches, and now it's used in place of less invasive searches. I find it difficult to tolerate that I'm now expected to show somebody my bean bag in order to travel. In fact, if I were to drop my pants in the middle of the security line, I'd be arrested, but the TSA can drop my pants for me without recourse.

As you say though, fighting it just isn't worth it right now. The last thing I need is one if the geniuses that work security arresting me, even under false pretenses, because I won't consent to a strip search.
