There's no question that TSA agents are at least TRYING to make flying safer for all of us. Whether or not they succeed is a different story.
But there’s also no question that the increased security measures most airports have installed are very intrusive, uncomfortable, and awkward.
And unfortunately, as you’ll see in these pics, there’s nothing to do but sit there and deal with it.
Or take the bus.

Pants Down
"I'm not qualified to speculate, sir. You should see a doctor."
What a Criminal
She's DEFINITELY a terrorist. Put her through the wringer.
Too Convenient
I thought this was a little odd. Then I saw the girls behind her and think that this is either the sexiest airport in the world or staged.
Embarrassing
Thank goodness no one else is watching this…
Excuse You
That's the face you make when a stranger touches you in a very awkward place.
Done
That kid's so over it.
Massage
MaMaybe he's getting a leg massage?
Even Celebs Are Subjected
You leave Mini-Me alone!
Shocked
She's got the "Can you believe this crap?" look on her face.
Undressing
Yeah. She's a threat. Better take her shirt off.
Full Service
The TSA is full service. They'll take your pants off, but they'll also button you back up.
Awkward
We all know that recoil from a stranger's touch.
Questionable
Ugh. Do you REALLY need to see her stomach?
A Threat
Yeah, this guy's gonna definitely overtake a plane full of passengers and air marshals.
So. Weird.
Somehow, when they do this the weird, sterile, professional way, it seems just as bad.
A Strange Pat
"Let me just touch your butt, and you'll be on your way. Ok. You're free to go. Have a nice flight."
Personal Space
"I'm gonna hit your boobs with my fist. This is all very standard."
Tickle Tickle
The face on that TSA guy is one of intense focus. Probably resisting the urge to tickle the other guy.
