Why the people who allegedly support TSA screening don't matter

1. If the new enhanced pat-downs don't cross the line with these people, nothing will. They'd clearly tie a ribbon around their junk and pirouette through the metal detector singing "I'm a Little Teapot" if someone with a badge told them it was necessary to the security of air travel.

2. Far too few American s are proactive about protecting their rights. Only a small fraction of the population makes the effort to join the ACLU, NRA, NARAL, EFF or any other pro-right organization. The vast majority people just do as they're told, with some realizing the mistake of that approach when some rule they could have taken action about bites them. The minority of the population that joins organizations like those and is politically active are the watchdogs that reduce government power grabs.
