I recently flew with my family

I went through the detector after everyone else in my party.

There was no beep, but I was instructed to stand in a little box.

I calmly asked the agent what was going on and he told me I had been randomly selected for a search.

I told him I did not want to be separated from my family.

This has worked for me a couple of weeks ago when flying alone with my son.

interesting that I have been "randomly" selected on my last 2 flights... Anyway didn't work this time.

I was patted down thoroughly, but did not receive the enhanced version

Being a civil-libertiestard, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

When he asked "do u have anything in your pockets" I replied "no. not even my civil rights"

He shrugged it off and said "I don't like this either, but I have to do it."

I replied "it's still wrong"

He then told me about his experience as a soldier and being patted down as well.

I replied "that too was wrong, but were you frisked like a criminal in front of your wife and kids?"

He did not reply and completed everything professionally and courteously

My family, who know me well, were pretty sure I was going to get arrested, but I didn't.

Moral of the story? I don't know. I had a benign experience with a pro, he didn't touch my junk, and he put up with my little comments

In the end, though, I still felt angry, embarrassed and violated.

Oh and for all you rackets, he was black.

This happened in Texas, btw.

Wait a minute in Texas??? Didn't they pass a law that, TSA is not allowed to touch people?

Nope. That bill was abandoned, just as I and others predicted.
