On Friday however- same family wearing pretty much the same clothing at JFK (American) 3/5 were stopped after the nudeoscope. My daughter was taken to a small room with 2 women and after a thorough grope was asked what she had in her pants--" Just the usual parts" she replied. One of the agents asked the other if they should take down her nformation and went to get a piece of scrap paper and copied info from her boarding pass.

Son declined the small room and was "checked" full pat down style in view of all and hubby had a cursory pat down.

Why the different experiences? Is this the return of the flying to DCA post 9/11 "special treatment?
