Hey, Don't Touch My Junk

"Hey man, touch my junk, I'm going to have you arrested." This young man -- in refusing to be subjected to TSA groping of his "privates", after refusing to be nude scanned at the LAX Airport earlier this week -- surely is our generation's Paul Revere, or just another California guy in need of self-esteem counseling. Come on, what "Junk" is he talking about?

Please, President Obama, stop the madness. Intrusive pre-boarding screening should be intelligently targeted based only upon objective threat factors raising the probability that the putative passenger is a terrorist, preparing for an immediate attack on America.

TSA now arbitrarily selects every tenth passenger for enhanced pre-boarding body screening. Why? We are not at war with every 10th airport traveller; We are at war with radical Islamic jihadists. Accordingly, TSA experts should interview passengers fitting the profile of the previous 200 or so terrorists who have attacked us.
