I say, the terrorists are winning. We are losing our freedoms because of them. We have additional expenses because of them...

And yes, I have been felt up by TSA, but that was my own fault and a pretty funny story. I was coming back from Va and at Norfolk security (as well as everywhere else) there is a sign that says take off your jacket and put it in the basket. Well my travel companion didn't take off her baggy pullover fleece top, so she got diverted to the pat down area. I did follow directions and took my jacket off and went through the metal detector just fine, but had not been paying attention to what was happening with my friend and went over to where she was standing. Well apparently once your "in the box" where the searches are done, you may not leave until you are searched so you cannot get something away from the person being searched and hide it. So a very nice woman explained exactly what she was about to do and did it quickly and professionally. We (my friend and I) were laughing the entire time at my screw-up. Give the TSA a break, they're just trying to do their job. If my friend had followed directions in the first place, we wouldn't have been in that situation. I'd much rather be patted down than have more radiation treatments than I've already had! You can blame this on the terrorists too!!
