It seems it's not an offense, but paranoia. Oh my god, he touched a little kid's private area! Even though we don't have reports of the guy enjoying it! Getting patted down to make sure we do have safe airlines, that's not an invasion of my privacy. That person doesn't know who I am, or my secrets. They probably don't want to, anyway. They aren't getting my social security or card information. It's not you're home at all, so how can you be completely private in public places? They certainly don't have mind-infiltrating devices to read your thoughts!
These people are just being too much of a wimp. They should be glad they don't get patted down in their own home.

Huh? What type of answer was that? TSA agents would be lucky to hold a job at the local convenience store. They are uneducated, as a general rule, and drawn from some of the lowest elements of American society. So we have a bunch of primadonna punks in uniform fondling and ogling anything in site because a Neo-Con (can you say Jewish) plot to destroy the United States was put into play on September 11 (remember that oh so importan Jewish Kabbalistic date).
No. I am sure that you just love to see Americans treated as if they are all terrorists...even little girls getting their vaginas ogled by some TSA agent who is there to "protect us"?
I am sure that every 5 year old girl is a terrorist in disguise - only if I were educated in Jewish Israeli logic.
Pahlease!

What is fact is that certain people treat their skin as if sound-waves actually hurts them.
What the heck are you talking about sound waves. These machines use X-Rays or Millimeter Waves. The first is an ionizing radiation known to cause cancer. The second is so new of a tech there is little information on them but since they are above the microwave frequency band they are very tiny and likely small enough to disrupt DNA.
Read some of the many articles online that discuss this topic and deny ignorance already:
Body Scanners Increase Risk Of Skin Cancer

Another prong on this attack should be verbally embarrassing the TSA employee conducting the "enhanced" pat-down.
What are the things we can say loudly, that are legal? I don't want to say hateful things, but I do want to say things loud enough that create a negative psychological emotional impact on the TSA screener who is aggressively touching my private parts.
Any suggestions?
Remember, we don't want to anger the screener, we want to embarrass them. We want to condition THEM to not to want to do what they are doing and/or quit their jobs over time.

Benjamin Franklin
They who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
John Acton
Liberty is the condition of duty, the guardian of conscience. It grows as conscience grows. The domains of both grow together. Liberty is safety from all hindrances, even sin. So that Liberty ends by being Free Will.
James Madison
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
The liberty of speaking and writing guards our other liberties.
John Adams
Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.
Henry B. Adams
Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself.
Woodrow Wilson
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free.

I really, really, really wouldn't do that. Have you ever put a foil wrapped potato in a microwave. X-rays, especially those used in Compton back-scatter processes are very close in wavelength to microwave.
