On: Woman Arrested For Not Letting TSA Grope Her Daughter

[jamesaguilar]

I hear it used this way in the rarified world of tech journalism and internet message boards far more often than traditional journalism or real life. I think for most people the TSA is a mere annoyance. The ever-increasing droves of people flying would tend to support that point of view.

At any rate, Google still feels this verb has a sexual connotation (http://www.google.com/search?q=grope), so I'm sticking to my guns on that one. The title is meant to inspire outrage by using a loaded term rather than the appropriate one. This "news story" is actually a propaganda piece and isn't helping in having a rational discussion on the topic.

"The ever-increasing droves of people flying..."

Got any data to substantiate this?
