2) You're protected against unreasonable search and seizure... not all search and seizure.  TSA patdowns happen when you repeatidly fail a metal detector/body scanner or something is picked up on either of those. 

That is bullshit because I know for a fact that they send random people in the line to the body scanners, and if you don't like the body scanner then you have to get a pat down.  To these random lucky people simply walking through the metal detector isn't an option.

That was metal detector or body scanner.   As in, you have to go through one or the other.  Some places it's just all body scanners.

Body scanners aren't unreasonable.

I didn't even have a choice, I simply got a check on my ticket as I joined the line to go through security, randomly selected for a search. Had to go through the metal detector, stand in a glass cage while my carry on was searched, and get a thorough pat down.
Sure I could refuse and then figure out an alternative way to get home. I went along with it but the next time I had to travel I choose to drive 9 hours instead of taking the plane, screw that.

Body scanners aren't unreasonable?

You know what would be even safer, if we all fly naked, stick the clothes and luggage on a 2nd plane.

And if you don't care about your privacy then maybe about your health, the new backscatter x-ray body scanners
