"He used the most words to describe his own trauma, not hers, and I can imagine the stress of her husband getting himself arrested was much more stressful on her than the initial search."

Even if true, that doesn't change the conditions of the situation. It's still the "security" staff that are the instigators and abusers, going beyond the bounds of valid behavior.

Looked at objectively, he and his wife were pat-searched. Their respective reactions, and HIS reaction to her reaction is what got HIM in trouble. Are boobs off limits in a search? Are women with big bellies off limits? I think everyone knows they are subject to a possible search when they fly. Are they only allowed to search me up to my elbows and no further?
