Nor have I been told anywhere except in the US to lift my skirt during a pat down, yet there are many reports about women (and kilted men) being told to do so by TSA, and wands being pushed up into the crotch area.

Lifting ones breasts (or fat) or raising ones skirts should not be part of air travel for the average traveller.

There is a loss of dignity and respect for the traveller.
