Wil, I grew up flying back and forth between Germany and the United States. I've crossed the Atlantic more than 50 times. Never in my life have I been afraid of flying. Until now. Since all this TSA crap has started, I've been continually thankful that I haven't needed to board a plane in more than 2 years. I've never been sexually assaulted, either...but what you're describing sounds like sexual assault to me. It terrifies me that a stranger could have such control over my body -- and that the government sanctions that control. And any behavior that goes with it. I'm so sorry you've been subjected to this.
