The answer will be if you don't want to be searched there's the exit and enjoy finding an alternative way to your destination.

I'll take passive screening by a mechanical device any day over the TSA agent wedging fingers between your leg and a private part.

I personally enjoy those sweet, intimate interactions with an agent of my government. Makes me feel wanted and beautiful.

Sniffing for explosives in a public area has long passed Constitutional muster as a reasonable search. This like many Constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, are not absolute, but rather are limited rights for very rational and valid reasons.
