Airplane security goes overboard
What I learned from the stories included below:
1. Don't wear a skirt to the airport (I did do this once while returning from my mission, and was sent to a telephone booth-type box where air was blown up my skirt Marilyn Monroe style. I was uncomfortable and embarrassed in front of the 5 elders I was traveling home with.).
2. If you have knee surgery, somehow that relates to someone having to stick their hand in your pants in order to protect security.
3. ... you HAVE to read that one yourself.
I remember a couple of years ago when TSA was criticized for racial insensitivity when they searched a Muslim woman wearing a burka. Profiling concerns aside, they asked the woman to remove her robe so she could be searched underneath. When she had problems with that, they offered to take her into a private room where she would be searched by a female guard. This was compared to "asking an American woman to expose her breasts in public." Of course TSA would never go that far...
Read the last story of the three on there. Reports are it's only getting more and more common.
