The downside is that you then normalize pervasive and invasive monitoring... Soon people will be accustomed to it and expect it when they walk down the street... Not the world I'm looking for. Personally I'll take the grope. In fact I MAKE them grope me by opting out of their silly scanners. (I also wear a kilt often, which used to be fun before they all got training on how to deal with that...) If everyone did this it would bring the TSA to its knees and make a strong statement about just how much security theater we're actually willing to tolerate.
