Poll question: When will someone react violently to the pat downs ? It will come to that.
It's getting to the point where sooner rather than later someone is going to blow because of this invasion of our privacy. Either from being personally groped or rejecting the groping of their children, someone is going to pop a TSA agent.

4. I have not flown in years
and don't plan to unless there is an emergency with my sister. Otherwise the way things are going, I will probably never see my sister again.

7. I expect violence from the TSA screeners as well
I have little doubt that sexually explicit comments after they intimate part of the search will set off some of them

The report I saw didn't specify if it was because of the patdowns, though.
