While I agree with everyone that this line of thinking with kids in mind is amazingly stupid and I think that TSA is going overboard with the scanning/groping, is this really a violation of freedoms?
Let me play devil's advocate for a second. Flying is not a right. Flying is a privilege and it is something you choose to do voluntarily. By now we all know about the frisking so you now know that if you choose to fly, you are also agreeing to get the pat down on the scanner. Your rights are not being taken away from you. You are volunteering to give them up.
