Addicted to 'junk' touching

Why do I get the feeling that the editors at Talking Points Memo worked hard to unearth an obscure AP story (on what amounts to speculation by a government official) just so it could print this homepage teaser: "TSA chief sees a future where TSA will scan your eyes instead of feeling your junk." That, of course, was under the headline: "Look at My Eyes Not My Junk." I can just imagine Butt-head grinning when Beavis says: "They wrote 'junk.' Uh huh huh huh." Anything for page visits, I guess.
