It went smoothly and I generally* didn't mind anything that happened to me personally. However, three things bothered me. The first was the cavalier attitude. The perves were joking about the pat downs. The most common was "you get a free massage" (the greeting I got), the most offensive was "you might like it."

I would probably just respond to such remarks by suggesting that he/she just "suck my a$$" as I once heard Lou Piniella suggest to an obnoxious fan ... I have no patience for that kind of unprofessional bull$h!t (and happen to have federal LE credentials).
