business traveler Karen Connolly of Birmingham, Mich., was ordered to remove her coat, then her suit jacket before passing through a metal detector, "the man behind me in line said, 'Have her take off her pants, too!' " He was not reprimanded.

Why should he be reprimanded. This isn't grade school; and while it may have been a crude joke or crass remark the problem is with the A-holes doing the pat downs.

It seems I get the pat down all most every time I fly. As a result I am determined to never fly for personal travel. Unfortunately it takes about all my stamina to fly the two times a month required for my job; usually to chicago O'Hare. What a friggen Zoo!

Yeah, I wondered what that "he was not reprimanded" comment was all about. He was a passenger, crude, but not breaking a law. I fly on business too, no choice. I've flown twice since 9/11. Once on business, once for a funeral. No patdown for me, but then I didn't set the alarm off or get the random search. Just waiting for that day...NOT!

I agre. He shouldn't have been reprimanded. But if I were in that line, the guy would have gotten an earful!
