One added benefit of AIT if you are flying is they can clear most situations of this nature without touching in some cases (mind you not all situations can be cleared that way, but many of them can). I would just make certain to tell the TSO that the area is extremely sensitive and if they are rough, go to a Supe immediately, and follow up through the official channels as well. I hope you have as good of an experience as possible.
Ascertain what is there? You mean a tampon vs. a thong? It's none of your damned business what my wife is wearing down "there".
Your apparent (& disgusting!) logic is totally backwards. A year ago you never would have gotten away with stripsearching people, yet now that you have the ability to do so electronically, somehow in your contorted reasoning that allows & requires you to perform invasive searches n lieu of an electronic stripsearch, when your authority to perform an administrative stripsearch has never existed in the first place?
We live in a free country and will continue to live in a free country. The sooner your loathsome organization is shut down, the better.
