I'm a nursing mother - I can assure you that I don't sexualize breasts. I breastfeed in public, at that. Yet I would be terribly upset if a TSO had the audacity to demand that I "lift and separate" my breasts so that they could be more thoroughly groped. You are not a physician, nurse, or other medical professional.

But I digress...why does a large belly or other fat flap require groping, when anyone determined to get a weapon, explosive, or incendiary through security has a convenient body cavity or two that it can be shoved into? A woman stashing an SD card or chapstick in her bra should not be the TSA's concern - perhaps Customs or Border Patrol at a border, but not TSA. TSA's purview is supposed to encompass weapons, explosives, and incendiaries - you're not taking down a plane with a flash drive or a chapstick.

Explosives detection technology is a far better avenue for detecting explosives than scanners that are of dubious value and cause law-abiding travelers to have to worry about whether or not their maxi pad, insulin pump, urostomy, or even an article of clothing like a bra or a skirt will result in a humiliating pat down.
