Same for disabled folks too. Yes, I’m totally hiding a brick of C4 woven into the fibers of my wheelchair, you must know so much from watching CSI every week. And it’s true, I haven’t seen my master in a year now, so if you get grabby you’re going to get poked right back. Anything beyond that though, ima need cash or card first.
Note that they implemented this during the middle eastern wars started in 2001-2003, with the excuse of “terrorism” and not during the current wave of trans hyperawareness and bigotry.
Kinda like the first wave of internet censorship and monitoring which was implemented around 2007, and exposed by Snowden in ~2013
Checking out your naked form was a bonus back then, not the excuse. Also to pelt you with unnecessary radiation. I did not comply in 2018 when leaving the UK, but I did when leaving the US, because I didn’t want to try my chances in the US legal system, and wanted to leave ASAP.
If you want to exercise your rights, you can always prefer to be groped by a TSA/Your country’s equivalent instead of getting in the DickChecker9000. At least it slows down their job and forces them to do something instead of sitting by idly as they check out naked people.
They really check genitals at airports in USA? I thought it was just pointing how absurd the law would have to be, not that they implemented it.
They do a full body scan, and if you present female then your penis shows up as an unidentified mass that needs explanation.
Same for trans men and breasts. I used to get the pat down every single flight.

Sentient yes, sapient unlikely.
oh boy.
Not explicitly, but trans persons especially pre-op can face additional screening or scrutiny.
