I think there should be a 'take your chance airline'--where you go through the old fashioned security (pre 9-11), sign a waver, and are on your way to the plane that other like minded folks are flying.
Since that won't happen, and I refuse to go through the scanner, I get the pat down almost every time I fly. Would be every time, but when flying with the kids, I get to go through the old fashioned metal detector security.
I have never been touched in an obnoxious way... and everyone treats me well. However, I have Femme privileged so that probably has something to do with it.
And not to turn a serious subject into a joke... but honestly, for most of the past two years--the only touch I was getting was while going through airport security. And I kinda sorta... in an embarrassed to say way... looked forward to that part of flying. I secretly hoped for the rough strong hands of a big butch TSA officer (blush).
