How would you feel if your wife got selected to get a full body pat down with no explanation given? What would you say if she came back in tears because the pat down was basically a groping? Don't say it doesn't happen. Or how about when your electronic devices get confiscated for some obscure reason? Or an agent is having a bad day and you looked at them, so they hold you up until you miss your flight? These are all documented abuses that have happened many times. And now couple all that with the fact that you have little to no remedy for these abuses, pretty much all you can do is file a complaint and we all know where those end up. And this makes you feel safe?</blockquote>
