TSA Experiences

I got pulled for random search in Boston about 3 weeks ago. It was less of a pat down and more of a fondle if you ask me. Fortunately my gear wears well and it's not discernible as "after market equipment". I would have complained but the TSA agent was having a hard time getting used to her job and she seemed pretty embarrassed. It was her first day and she was obviously nervous. I thought that the female TSA agents did pat downs on women and the male TSA agents on men. Guess not. I hope that female passengers don't have to get patted down by male TSA agents somewhere. Is that sexist? I don't mean it to be. I think I wouldn't want my nieces patted down by a man but a woman could be equally efficient or disrespectful. I guess depends upon the person as always and it's not my right to hope anything except that everyone gets treated respectfully.
