Orly Taitz is ideally-suited to make this argument.

No — it violates no law.

Airlines are 100% private enterprises and subject to administration by the government.

There is no “rights issue” here, except for the usual “my RIGHTS are being violated” chattering class who don’t know what a “Right” is.

OTOH, the TSA may be extra-Constitutional and having different screening methods for different people may (do) IMHO) violate most Equal Rights laws.

Additionally, X-Raying constantly at the Government insistence is an example of a specific avoidable harm that may have significant legal repercussions.

Presuming they can find the next set of exploding underwear it is "reasonable". Alas, this technology cannot detect that explosive ~ maybe the wires into the shorts, and the battery, but without that what?

Such things can be concocted on board out of the guy's cellphone.

I'd agree it's an UNREASONABLE SEARCH ~ but profiling is a REASONABLE SEARCH since there's evidence it works.

Frankly, none of that bothers the Napolitano gal ~ she's happy enough knowing people are getting groped,

Caused the problem? No, people are being routinely subjected to searches before any crime occurs. Not because of any specific crime or even a specific threat, but precisely because there is no specific threat.

America could do with a little less mamby-pamby paranoia.
Flying on commercial airlines is still the safest way to travel, even in the Middle East.

I don't like being groped as if I were a criminal.

Obama needs to prepare us for his marxist state.

Buying an airline ticket has no effect on my God given right to unreasonable searches. There is not an even improbable cause to search me.

The only reason it is done is to “not discriminate”.

Sorry, but you are legally wrong.

First, they are not trying to search everyone.

Secondly, a search to prevent the introduction of weapons aboard aircraft is not unreasonable.

Third, you have no constitutionally guaranteed right to board an aircraft. You have to meet certain reasonable criteria. You have to have a ticket. You have to be clothed. You have to be free of obvious dangerous communicable diseases. You have to be willing to not operate certain electronic equipment. You have to be willing to be searched in some way, electronic or otherwise, to ensure you do not have a weapon.

It's like accepting a driver's license and driving a car is a consent to a test for alcohol or a customs search a condition for entry into the country.

P.S. This is all very settled law.

I flew the other day and didn’t see a single female go through the scanner...only males.

I wonder what the ratio is and is it balanced?

Moreover, is it legal???
