I thought that they had woman searchers to ONLY search the women? I don't see a big problem with it. The one time their computer pulled me from line and I got patted down it was a woman (abeit somewhat masculine in body and face but a woman) who patted me down.
When I go to fly I make sure I'm not wearing jewelry, underwires, metal belt buckles, high heeled shoes with the metal posts in the heels, etc. I take off my shoes and send them through the machine as well as any coat or even sweater that I'm wearing. I don't even take foil wrapped gum in my purse or mint tins. There is absolutely NOTHING that they will need to check me for. I pack my basics in my carry on but carry NOTHING that could show on an x-ray machine as odd or out of order. I've been pulled aside ONLY before I learned to do this (except once when it was a computer choice). When the woman patted me down it was done professionally, without eye contact, and quickly IN public. If I were taken to a separate room and patted down by a man alone - yeah I'd make a fuss. In public?? She didn't have enough time to fantacise. My Mom who is overly sensitive about sexual things got patted down once too and yet she saw nothing wrong with it. She felt her security was worth the inconvenience.
I think people make too much fuss about personal space and privacy. We're isolating ourselves more an more as individuals and less and less as a nation. What will that do to us eventually??
