I've seen the TSOgre, who asked about the kilt, on duty several times there. He strikes me as slow, cumbersome, incurious, and just generally not-to-swift.
The band F supervisor actually carried himself quite strongly and seemed to actually be trying to figure out a proper way to solve the "problem" without causing the traveler too many problems/embarrassment.
I know a couple of TSOs at IAH and am inquiring about the employee who started the process. I’d love more background. Not because I am a snob (though I most likely am) but because I am curious about the people tasked with “keeping us safe” as many TSA members here have quoted.
I’ve seen monks in robes, and other kilted travelers before at IAH (and other USA airports) and they have never been receiving a secondary. Maybe it is a better way to travel?
Come to think of it how do the female TSA members feel up a female traveler in a skirt? I mean are we talking network tv rating type of video, or cable, USAupallnight, Cinemax, German broadcast, or pay by the hour porn type of feel ups for a secondary?
The only time I was ever subject to a secondary, I was wearing a skirt (which probably influenced my getting stuck with it). She just worked through the skirt as if it was a pair of slacks. I think it's probably less fraught with embarrassment when done to women by women -- our distal private parts pretty much stay out of the way.
