...latest airport-security scandal is the groping of female flight attendants and passengers during patdowns. Not to worry. The Transportation Security Administration chief is right on it. "We're going to fix that right away," he said recently, announcing the appointment of an ombudsman...
...Shield (FX, Tuesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.) was inspired by Los Angeles' Rampart police scandal. But it asks a question that is all too relevant in the days of liberty vs. security: How far do we want our protectors to go in our name? There's no simple answer.

At times they are the assertion of personal entitlement over humane consideration and in this situation I think that our right to skewer and expose Pomey and Gomes is better left shelved...
