Because there's some idiot who thought, "Wow, maybe she really was a terrorist and the underwire bra thing is an excuse. So whatever she had in her shirt is now in her bag, and if I catch a terrorist, I get a kewpie doll. At the very least, for every ten bag searches I do, I get to choose one item from the box of stuff we've confiscated."
