Ok - for those of us who have been legitimately sexually assaulted calling a feeling-up done in an orderly mannor to check for possible weapons is not SEXUAL ASSAULT and it's offensive to suggest it is.
The courts disagree. If you touch someone intentionally, and they are offended, that is assault. Groping of genitals without prior consent is sexual assault.
There is no unwanted for forceful exchange of sexual acts.
So you think the threat of an $11,000 fine for noncompliance is not coercion?
There is no personal pleasure derived by one part through exerting control or dominance other the other.
That's quite an astonishing statement. How can you possibly be so certain there are no perverts among the Thousands Standing Around?
It is not sexual assault - it might be uncomfortable or annoying, but it's not assault.
We'll see what the courts decide. And I will grant that not every traveler is offended or put off by the procedures; there are certainly plenty of exhibitionists and teasers who seem to actually get off on being the center of such attention.
