If it doesn't bother you, that's OK, and there are more than a few others I'm sure not too bothered by it. But what about others? My 78 yr. old (at the time) aunt was taken out of line and patted down in public ("normal" type, not the groping recently introduced) and she was horrified at the ordeal. Then, as now, there was no criteria other than randomness, no suspicious behaviour, etc. She was dumbfounded, and my uncle was quite upset and, even though one of the gentlest and even demeanored persons I know, the airline boarders quickly whisked them to the gate to avoid further trouble with security. If that happened today he might likely have been tazered and arrested (he's only 5'5"). They've driven the 650 mile trip twice since that incident. They won't fly anymore. We have to think of others' concerns, not just our own.
