It's not the pat down itself so much, but the principle of the matter. We (especially those in the US) expect to be able to live our lives in freedom, and this new TSA bullshit is just one more intrusion into everyone's lives, and everyone intrinsically knows it's not doing anything to make anyone safer. Think of it as the straw that broke the camel's back.

All the anger you're seeing isn't specifically because of TSA policies. It's because over the last several decades the government has continually stripped away freedoms & rights that were taken for granted before. The government pushed too hard this time, and now they're seeing the backlash from it.

Just think what would happen if it was 1970, and all these current laws & policies got set into place overnight. TSA screenings at airports, people getting arrested for playing chess in the park, if you buy too much cough syrup the cops will pay you a visit, the insane prison sentences for smoking weed, and on, and on... If this was 1970, and all that got set into place overnight, the Whitehouse would be a pile of ashes within a week.
