No option given for a witness but I suspect I could/should have demanded to be present even if she is an adult.
I was under the impression that the NOS was to be used only after a more cursory screen indicated the need for further screening but at JFK Terminal 8 all passengers were NOS'd as the first screen.
I'll admit that I haven't flown since the new screenings started, but this whole business of groping people behind closed doors is insane. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Any medical professional would never do this!
The MSM would have you believe that the only passengers getting the intense groping, are the ones who refuse to go through the scanners!
[sarcasm] I guess the two different screening procedures are none of our business, though. Telling us why the TSA does these things will only help the terrorists. [/sarcasm]
