The grope is good, it trains you to be calm while having your privacy violated. I recommend opting out of the mmwave to get the grope each time you travel.

You may find yourself living in an authoritarian dictatorship in the future and be thankful for all the practice.

Beautiful comment. The Grope is Good would make a great band name or campaign slogan, or maybe both.

Ill never forget asking a TSA guy if he was sure mmwave was really just sound. "Yes! Its just sound waves, completely harmless," he assured me. "Less than your phone makes in your pocket!"

I've only ever been groped when I've gone through the mmwave, going through metal detectors they've never laid a finger on me.

If you refuse the mmwave you always get groped. You can often line-pick or time things to get the metal detector instead, though these days you often can't.
