so I have a question, i'm flying to florida on Friday and I was wondering if they do a pat down on every single person? Or do they just do it to some?
Now, how long till a violent confrontation happens at a checkpoint due to a father or a husband objecting to witnessing the molestation of his wife or daughter? I would honestly hold the TSA agent while he hit them!

When I recently went overseas we travelled from Australia. We had our bags screened in that x-ray machine and then stepped through the metal detector. Then they pull every second or so person aside and subject you to a pat down anyway. Quite confronting as you barely get any warning other than, "stand with you arms out and your legs apart'. You think they're just going to do a quick pat down but they are quite thorough and it was rather embarassing.

What I find most troubling is how this man was threatened with civil legal action for trying to leave the airport after being told to do so.
This is ridiculous. Where does it end? When are we finally gonna be safe enough from the terrorists? Should we just go ahead and arrive naked to the airports? Fly naked? That might be kind of fun. " Fly Buff Airlines Today. Be assured that no one has explosive undies on!" Don't make me feel any safer with these new "security measures".
