Tyner would not enable TSA to molest him before flight

According to passenger Tyner, Transportation Security Administration airport terminal verification has gone too far. ABC News accounts that all Tyner had been trying to do had been hop a flight out of San Diego. Tyner objected to the full body scanner, then objected to a patdown on the inner thigh (a procedure he called "sexual molestation"). For the trouble of protecting his dignity, Tyner had been shown the door to leave the airport terminal.

‘If you touch my junk, I’m going to have you arrested,’ said John Tyner

Passengers like John Tyner have decried the painfully slow process of airport security screening for some time. Numerous passengers and pilots are claiming the patdown procedures have turned to sexual molestation or sexual assault as the TSA has authorized front hand aggressiveness. John Tyner recorded his 30-minute ordeal with TSA security via a cell phone video camera, and now it’s a hit on YouTube.

TSA was certainly not happy to hear the ultimatum of "If you touch my junk, I’m going to have you arrested," coming from Tyner. John Tyner wasn’t going to readily submit to an invasive search. A clip from the video contains the following dialogue:

TSA Supervisor, in regards to the groin patdown: “If you’re not comfortable with that, we can escort you back out and you don’t have to fly today.”

John Tyner: "OK, I don’t understand how a sexual assault can be made a condition of my flying.”

TSA Supervisor: “This is not considered a sexual assault.”

John Tyner: “It would be if you were not the government. … I’d like only my wife and maybe my doctor to touch me there.”

A ton of patdowns happening with Opt Out Day

People are stripped naked virtually by Advanced imaging Technology or given "enhanced" patdowns as required by Homeland Security and TSA. To protest this, Thanksgiving fliers are asked to take a stand by Brian Sodegren and also the online group Opt Out Day. Opt out of the quick scan option and produce the kind of patdown gridlock that will make the government take notice, suggests Sodegren.

Pilots, flight attendants and passengers like John Tyner have shown a backlash of anger despite the fact that customers are urged to "use some common sense" by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
