If you are flying, take a stand. Here's how one guy did it...
http://www.prisonplanet.com/man-proves-tsa-policies-are-unconstitutional.html
Ron Paul has introduced legislation to remove any immunity TSA agents might have to commit sexual assault.
Hillary Clinton has stated that she would certainly avoid the pat-down procedure if she could.
The definition of an assault is the fear of an unwanted touching. Battery is the commission of the unwanting touching. TSA policies are unconstitutional. It has been said the pat-down procedure was implemented to bully people into the radiation screening. Further, they do not change their gloves with each passenger. The gloves are simply to protect the TSA agent. The same pair of gloves touch upwards of hundres of people a day when they pat down clothing as well as passengers' skin inside underwear, thus spreading contamination...colds, flu, STD's...you name it.
The best defense is a good offense. And targeting the pocketbook is always powerful. If you find the procedures objectionable, decline to proceed, get a refund and tell the airline agents in no uncertain terms that you will not fly again until the procedures are no longer health hazards or humiliating. That will get their attention. Okay, so you miss turkey at grandma's this year. The principle of this issue is far more important.
