ACLU questions 'enhanced patdown' of air travelers
BOSTON (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts is questioning the propriety of stepped-up security checkpoint procedures at airports in Boston and Las Vegas.
The Boston Herald reports that Transportation Security Administration screeners at Logan International Airport are testing what one official called an "enhanced patdown." It lets
screeners use a palms-forward, slide-down search procedure on
passengers' bodies.
It replaces the old back-of-the-hand patdown for passengers who don't want to go through full-body scanning machines.
The TSA says the new procedure is also being tested at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas before a national rollout.
The ACLU questions whether the new technique is effective enough to justify what it calls a "seemingly constant erosion of privacy."

Those pervs will try to make it extremely difficult for you to refuse the naked body scanners.

I thought only women TSA could patdown/search women and men TSA could patdown/search men?
