2 cents worth..
I am thinking that I would rather be scanned/searched rather than having the guy/woman behind me get through with a bomb taped to their balls/vagina..

My feeling is that just because some individuals are fine with being handled this way, that doesn't really mean it's okay. I feel entitled to a certain amount of sovereignty over my body and I see the policies as extremely violative and anxiety-triggering. How long before junior highs and high schools begin using similar methods?

I am going to try to use another example here - maybe it will hold water.
It is a legal right in the u.s. to keep and bear arms. I don't own a gun because I feel the personal risks of my owning a gun would outweigh the benefits of owning one. However - just because I don't want a gun in my house, that wouldn't be a justifiable reason for me to advocate for repeal of the 2nd amendment. Just because you personally would make the choice to be scanned or groped or both - that doesnt mean everybody else will or should be subjected to it.
