If you are dealing with a boss (three striper, higher up) that you absolutely can not stand, are you foolish enough to let him/her see your contempt?

If your boss walked up and decided to use you to demo an open-palm package-n-all grope for your fellow workers, are you going to let him see that it's not your idea of fun?

A lot of the folks you are frisking probably can't wait to get it over with so they can get to a restroom and wash up. You know, sort of that unpleasant sensation you feel after your doctor has given you an up-close-and-personal examination. You just want to get the hell out of there.

And believe it or not, I have met a surprising number of folks who don't complain because 1) they don't think it will do any good and 2) they worry that their name will end up on a list and they'll be subject to future harassment.

Of course, there is the possibility that you follow your SOP and are professional and respectful. You know, you treat the pax you 'handle' kind of like you would treat your own grandpa if you were frisking him. Or your manager's son.
