2. Would the LTSO or STSO that are required to be present also be required to be of the same sex? Would both TSOs have to observe the removal of the clothes? Would the person be allowed keep their underwear on, or to wear a drape or cover to cover up sensitive naked areas (breasts, buttox, genitals) like they do in a doctors office until the actual moment of examination?
3. Would the clothing have to be taken out of the private room to be examined, say to be tested for explosive residue?
This is how I understand it after asking questions about it for some time.
If you disrobe down to your undies, you will be asked to put on a drape but you will still have a pat down. If you have any kind of clothes on you , you will get one.
I am talking about all the clothes nothing on you.
To me it doesnt make any kind of sence to leave my undies on cause I will still get a grope.
The point and/or reason to me to do it my way is so I dont get touched period.
Hopefully this will never happen to me. But who knows since all my flights are to Europe.
