A word for the TSA groper

Since before TSA called the shots for Airport Security, air travellers knew that the security agents had very little sense of humor with respect to any comments you might make as they were scanning, patting and searching you and your things. This cold, formal atmosphere has only intensified as we have all come through 9/11 and are trying to remember the ever-expanding list of security measures.
I was thinking that we might be able to lose some of this tension and make the process more enjoyable for everyone. What if we could exchange a few words with our TSA agent? Ordinarily, we may not mind keeping our mouths shut, but don't you think it is natural and appropriate to express some sentiment after a particularly meaningful grope? Let's face it, you just had an unusually intimate moment with the TSA agent so it is hardly the time to turn away and say nothing.
Here are a few suggestions of phrases you might have on the tip of your tongue, but I know you will have some more to add.
Can we do that again?
Is it my turn now?
That really felt good.
Did you find what you were looking for?
You know, I am not homosexual.
My spouse does it better.
Can I see your body scan image?

How about:
You know most time someone has to take me to a dinner and a movie before I let someone feel me up.
Wow..that was great...what time do you get off work?
Do you offer a class on this? My spouse could use it.
Does this scanner image make my butt look big?

Yep which will make them feel uncomfortable. I say hey...if you are going to make me feel uncomfortable and offended...then I get do it to you too. LOL
Honestly..has anyone said anything about how the employees feel about this. I am sure there HAS to be some of them that think these new security measures are wrong and make them feel uncomfortable to do them.

That would work I think the reason they are so invasive is because people think they have to get it done, and no one is smiling. If someone acts as if it is enjoyable, then Obama will sa,y ,"I am signing an exectutive order to stop the pat downs, people are enjoying it too much."

I got a better idea. When Obama is making a speech in front of some TSA members and is open to the public, get someone to say very innocently, "I am planning a trip on an airplane, and have no idea what the pat down is like,"would you like to give a demonstration by allowing yourself to be pat down by one of the TSA agents?"

"I'm really a transsexual, and I want HER to check me (pointing to female screener). Be thorough."
That gives all sorts of grounds for a lawsuit if they don't respect the gender I choose to identify with. Some states and cities even allow you to go in whichever bathroom you prefer.

Can you scratch that spot while you're there? Maybe just a little to the left?
Do you think this bra makes me look like Dolly Parton?
Can I order so wallet size copies of the scan? I'd like to keep a digital record of the results of my exercise routine.
