This was also in the article:

And I tweeted and Facebooked about the experience. A friend in Tallahassee mentioned that friend of his had to lift his shirt to expose his colostomy bag to the TSA in Philadelphia.
Will every woman who has had breast reconstruction surgery have this to look forward to when going through WBI? Will everyone who has a colostomy bag have to pick up their shirt or drops their pants so the TSA can see it?

And then there is this gem by a TSA spokeshole:

Yet, the so-called Millimeter Wave isn't aiming to detect things like my fake left breast, according to Carrie Harmon, a TSA spokeswoman in Denver.

"It looks for metallic and non-metallic items under clothing," she says. "It could have been something else inside your body."
Carrie needs to have someone explain WBI to her as it doesn't detect "something else inside your body."
