Don't touch my junk
"Don't touch my junk" is a phrase that became popular in the United States in 2010 as a criticism of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) patdowns.〔Rowe, Peter. ("'Junk' catchphrase rockets into pop culture lexicon: Oceanside’s John Tyner strikes chord with TSA protest." ) San Diego Union-Tribune, November 17, 2010.〕 The word "junk" is American English slang for a man's genitals.〔Barrett, Grant. ''The Official Dictionary of Unofficial English: A Crunk Omnibus for Thrillionaires and Bampots for the Ecozoic Age.'' New York: McGraw-Hill, 2006, p. 201.〕 The phrase refers to the offense many people took to the November 2010 decision by TSA to begin full body patdowns of airline passengers in the U.S. who refused to go through a full body scanner.〔(Parker, Ashley. "Facing Scrutiny, Officials Defend Airport Pat Downs." ''New York Times.'' November 16, 2010 ); (Coleman, David. "How the Indignity of 'Junk Touching' TSA Pat Downs Strikes a Shared Nerve." ''Huffington Post.'' December 1, 2010. )〕
==Origin of the phrase==
The phrase was inadvertently coined in 2010 by passenger Dr. John Tyner, who released an audio recording from San Diego International Airport in which he told TSA agents: "If you touch my junk, I'm going to have you arrested." Dr. Tyner had initially chosen to undergo a pat-down rather than going through a full-body scan machine because of health concerns and the fact that he viewed the machines as a threat to privacy. The TSA refused to allow him to pass without this intimate search and so he declined to travel and got a refund on his ticket. An official then demanded that he submit to a search regardless. He declined and was threatened with prosecution, as well as a fine of $10,000.
In response to being asked by a reporter if he thought he looked like a terrorist, Dr. Tyner said no, "I'm 6-foot-1, white man". He subsequently uploaded a video onto YouTube based on his experience, which went viral and received 70,000 views by the end of the same day. Most of the comments posted on the video were supportive of Dr. Tyner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oceanside man ejected from airport for refusing security check )〕
