That was not I believe official word but a second hand quote of new TSO procedure.

I have not worn any skirt or dress which could be called 'bulky' either.
As I am traveling with my husband that day, I may very well wear a tight skirt. I wouldn't hesitate to be very vocal to any and every outlet about being made to undress because I wore a skirt. As an over 50 woman, I have very strong opposition to being targeted because of my gender and am willing to be uncomfortable to make this foolishness stop.
