If you were asked to remove your blouse and let your pants down to your ankles, and then parts of your body were touched...the term "strip search" is totally appropriate to describe your experience.

There will, nonetheless, be people who try to minimize what you experienced by using some sort of euphemism that weakens the impact, both to you and to the people who did this to you.

It is impossible, at this point, to know what caused your alarm. It could have been that your screener used a contaminated swab and/or gloves. In any case, they can't have *REALLY* thought you had kaboom-residue on you, or else they would not have been so eager to be alone in a room with you and the stash of kaboom you would have had on your person, if you were truly up to something nefarious.
