Either you know this is true and are being stubbornly obtuse or else you have very serious sociopathic issues.
That is a strawman argument. We are not talking walking up to someone and shaking their hand because of social greetings. We are talking about searching a persons body for possible weapons. There is no comparison. When you are in an accident and the paramedics check your chest for flail or other injuries involving personal areas, are you going to object? There are doctors and other professionals too that have to perform in this area of discomfort to the recepient everyday. They treat it like it is without any stigma attached to it.

So why then have they been 'checked further' to the point of causing bruising?
IF you wear a bra, and most women do then you can thank those lovely people that test us EVERYDAY with small items in the bra. An officer has to press hard on that area in order to detect those items. IF they miss it then they get the bad thing on their record. Granted if TSA could use another method to check that area then we would not have to press that hard. But when we are searching for something that can be 1/2 inch long and 3/16 inch wide a lot of pressure has to be placed on the area.
