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.
This is disgusting. No idea how I'm going to get through security now without high blood pressure literally killing me.
Are you saying that it is now acceptable (and in fact, standard) practice for U.S. government employees to intentionally cause immediate physical harm to a potential airline passenger in order to assess whether they are carrying weapons?
If a doctor - a trained medical professional - left bruise marks from palpating an area under anything but the most emergent circumstances (like CPR), he would be held to account faster than you can say "malpractice." How in the world do you believe your non-medically-trained self to be qualified to perform any "professional" procedure that an actual Medical Doctor would be hesitant to perform?
And you still haven't answered the question, at least that I've seen, about what happens the day you tell a woman to take off her shirt and she does, baring all for the world to see. Then what do you do? Arrest her?
