I was reading about this yesterday in the USA Today and I don't remember her name off hand but it was the head DHS that made the statement "we ensure that everyone getting a patdown has a screener of the same gender". Now lets ask ourselves why that would be? But in this day and time where (and I am not gay bashing here at all so please don't send hate mail) but what if the tsa person happens to be gay? Would that be so much different then say a man "screening" a woman or a woman screening a guy (well okay most guys would pay to have a woman touch their junk, and now they get it for free while going to work whooooooooo hoooooooooo ha ha)?
