That's kind of what I'm thinking, Jazz. Strip searches don't have much utility for weapons. I think they're much more geared towards finding drugs or other illegal paraphernalia which can be easily concealed in underwear or hidden in an orifice. There does seem to be a total lack of compelling need to go this far in this case.
I don't buy at all, however, that they did it because they were perverts trying to sneak a peek at an underage girl. Zero tolerance gone wrong seems much more likely.
