If I'm midswallow, and I hold it, I can hide my Adam's apple (kind of). So, how exactly are they going to check my plumbing?

Additionally, why is it that only male-female or female-male screening is open to sexual harassment? Can men not be harassed by other men or women by women? If the intent is to avoid sexual situations, what about the hommersexuals? I mean, wouldn't it be inappropriate for a gay dude to get his jollies from a male screener in the same way that someone straight would get their jollies from a woman?

Or, as I have been informed in government administered sexual harrassment training - is it that hommersexuality is doesn't exist.
