Even leaving the right, fair, and moral aspects out of it... Those are not the only two options available.

A male screener blocked my way through the metal detector and motioned instead to the blue boxes.
But, I suppose, in TSA fantasy land, because she wanted to go through the metal detector unmolested, she had to be hiding something and, thus, had to have her level of screening escalated.
