Looks like they grope everyone. My niece is Irish/American Indian plus a little french and only God knows what else we are... Since she is in her 50’s they like to grope older people too....bunch of pervs....GG I think we have lost too much, lets just profile. I wonder if they grope people in burka’s....betcha they don’t....

>>Then you should get a female screener.<<

With my luck she would be a regular at DU/KOS, like nadine...

There were a couple of cuties (only a couple) at RIC but my gambit never worked — I should have taken it to the next level like you suggest.

Well, I probably have 3 or 4 million miles to chalk up in the next 4 or 5 years so I’ll try some other stuff...

We don’t fly much, 2 or 3 times a year but we have never had this stuff done to us.

Well, then you are obviously an alien with mind and machine control capabilities.

My daughter is an engineer for a major defense contractor, has both a DOD and NSA ID identifying her "top secret" clearance, flies 8-10 times per month and has to go through this crap every time she tries to get on an airplane.

Nope, nothing special about us, Just 2 old farts going to Las Vegas for the annual PBR. Houston to Las Vegas and back again last Oct. Take off your shoes and jewelry/belt buckle, walk through the metal detector and put your shoes back on.

I still don’t understand why any human being would want to do that.

Disrobe, partially or fully, in order to board a commercial aircraft. The right to board should be evidenced by the ticket and that should be the only test.

There is a case to be made that those who should be strip searched are mostly in Congress and they get to walk through unimpeded or fly on military jets, while those of us who pay their salaries and bennies are treated like incarcerated criminals.

9-11 was supposedly committed by 19 Arabs but only because those in charge obviously didn’t diligently do their job; so why is every American now being treated as a potential terrorist? Why do we have a Patriot Act? We need to speak out against this.

We have driven to Las Vegas a couple of times and it is a great drive. But we are getting a little old for that so I guess next year we will fly, strip search or whatever.
We haven't been strip searched yet, I'll report back if we do.

The there is a next incident, it will involve baggage inspectors and/or handlers. And how about those sweet little ladies who clean the cabin?
