Earlier this year a TSO tried to force me to remove my only item of clothing on my upper body (a thin, lightweight top). I only had a bra on underneath and refused. It took several refusals before he called for a female assist. (I hadn't alarmed the WTMD) When she heard why she did a and told me exactly what she thought of her male colleagues.

There are several reports from posters here (I believe that VelvetKennedy is one) who were ordered to remove their only item of clothing on their upper body by male TSOs.
