0 Will Wheaton - Yesterday, I was touched -- in my opinion, inappropriately -- by a TSA agent at LAX"

Wil Wheaton is an American actor and writer. As an actor, he is best known for his portrayals of Wesley Crusher on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gordie LaChance in the film Stand by Me and Joey Trotta in Toy Soldiers. As a writer, he is best known for his blog, Wil Wheaton Dot Net.

The following is taken from his blog  posted on the 6th april 2011.

"Yesterday, I was touched -- in my opinion, inappropriately -- by a TSA agent at LAX.
I'm not going to talk about it in detail until I can speak with an attorney, but I've spent much of the last 24 hours replaying it over and over in my mind, and though some of the initial outrage has faded, I still feel sick and angry when I think about it.
What I want to say today is this: I believe that the choice we are currently given by the American government when we need to fly is morally wrong, unconstitutional, and does nothing to enhance passenger safety.
I further believe that when I choose to fly, I should not be forced to choose between submitting myself to a virtually-nude scan (and exposing myself to uncertain health risks due to radiation exposure)1, or enduring an aggressive, invasive patdown where a stranger puts his hands in my pants, and makes any contact at all with my genitals."

Hopefully his story will change a few public perceptions of the real agenda behind the TSA  "Pant-downs" and X-ray Scanners.

Below is what probably should have happened.....never be without your phaser.
