that guard ought to be glad that woman wasnt me.
Last year going through Manchester airport in England, I got pull from line and patted down because of an underwire bra. The security people were polite and respectful.
There is no excuse for the behavior of the guard and no reason she should have had to remove her bra.
I would have told him if he removed his jock seeing how he must have reinforced it, I would then remove my bra.

Hey, she can’t be that humiliated if she is telling the press.

My family and I were searched on the way into a museum and we didn't run to the 5 o'clock news.

What happens if you have a plate in your head? I have 4 of them since june and lotsa screws...havn’t had to walk through a metal detector yet though.

I kept setting off the metal detector at Heathrow. The then-wife and I both got patted down.

She wasn't amused.

Even less so when stowing my jacket on the plane, I found a tin of Altoids in an inside pocket...

At a party, somebody told a story about a friend that bought a new washing machine. After a couple of weeks, she finds a "part" when pulling out the clothes. The repairman shows up, and she show him the "part". "That's part of an underwire bra" he tells her, as he's pulls out his work log.
