Gay TSA Employees Shouldn't Be Allowed to Pat Down Travelers

[thir]

"LaBarbera's issued a press release detailing his concern that gay TSA employees will "get turned on" while patting down travelers of the same sex. LaBarbera challenged the TSA, arguing that if it is inappropriate for a male TSA worker to conduct a pat down of a female traveler, the same is true for gay employees. According to LaBarbera this is the perfect opportunity for gay workers to get a cheap thrill, all at the expense of an innocent traveler."

I am a little confused about this. In both Kastrup (DK ariport) and Manchester (UK airport) security pats down whoever bips the alarm, regardless of gender. And my experience with them is that they are unfailingly polite about it.

Frankly I doubt that the staff finds it particullarily thrilling to pat down all kinds of people 8 hours a day..but has anyone considered that the traveller might get a cheap thrill at the staff's expense? ;-)
