I have no complaint with the way the ladies did it as I said it was professional. The man did not come back into the room until I was fully redressed and I have no complaints as to his treatment of me with the exception that he did not answer my question.
I am just really wondering what they think they found on me that gave them this positive test.
I never though people would get so worked up over this issue I though this was just some fluke and I happened to be the person involved.
I realise that you are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, but I find it incredible that a woman has no issue with dropping her pants and removing her shirt, because someone in a role of authority told her to do so.
The fact that you are so nonchalant about most of this is indicative of why we here have not managed to be very successful yet in changing the mindset of many travellers.
May I ask how often you fly?
