Interesting. And you're right. If the inconvenience that authority imposes is less than filing complaints (in the long run), then I'm not going to bother. Inconvenience does not equal injustice, however, and I do not personally find pat downs unjust. My doctor checks for testicular cancer, so a professional (professional in the sense that the person is doing what s/he is doing for a living) who give my dick a pat to make sure it's not as hard as a gun does not faze me.
