You WERE carrying something dangerous - a skirt. At least two of our (absent) TSOs here have said that simply wearing a skirt is grounds for an additional search. This does not appear to be SOP however as it is not practiced everywhere (and note my ORD experience a few posts above yours; I too was wearing a skirt)
