My premise above was wondering:
(1) How local law enforcement might react if a criminal complaint was filed againt a TSA screener for sexual assault...
--OR---
(2) If the person being groped defended themselves when the assault occurred-- what charges could be brought that would NOT be dismissed upon presenting a "self-defense" defense in court...
--AND/OR--
(3) What might be the outcome for filing of a civil action (tort) in state courts for emotional stress and damages due to the duress and embarassmemnt of such a "routine screening" procedure that included fondling of one's private parts....
Additionally.... Most states have passed verrry stringent child porn laws--
Soooo....
What would be the outcome of arresting the backscatter image operator for veiwing porn / child porn...??
The viewing imaging software presents a digital image-- so even laws against "computer porn" would come into play....
Interesting possiblities-- legally speaking... BTW-- Your friend needs some help with formation of basic values...
Just sayin.... :-)
Lock a guy in a room and make him look at pictures of naked children all day long.
What could possibly be wrong with that?
