Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) complained Monday she was subject to a very uncomfortable screening by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). McCaskill tweeted about the experience before boarding a flight on Monday.
The senator, who has complained about the TSA's security techniques in the past, tweeted that she was selected for a pat down and that the experience was not a pleasant one. "Today in my airport screening, test on my hands was positive," McCaskill wrote to her 89,100 followers. "Got private, more aggressive pat down. OMG. #veryuncomfortable."

Guess she didn't love these pats.
From November 2010 (Fox News): The TSA is under fire for full-body scanning at airport security checkpoints. Critics say the security measure violates passenger privacy, but McCaskill favors the technique over TSA's only alternative - more hands-on body checks.
"I've had my love pats every single flight I have taken," McCaskill, who says she draws extra attention from airport screeners because of her knee replacement, related at the hearing. "So, I am wildly excited about the notion that I can walk through a machine instead of getting my dose of love pats."
