I've noticed that the TSA is starting to ONLY use the nude body scanners lately. I always opt out of these for a couple reasons. Not that I care if anyone sees my body, but I just think they're inappropriate. I also don't want the added radiation. I know they say you get more flying. I don't necessarily BELIEVE them and the other difference is that this is completely optional. I'll be safe and hope that in 20 years we don't discover that they're lying or wrong about the amount of radiation.

Back to my story.

I recently had surgery. Lower abdomen, below my waist incision (if you catch my drift). I'm only a week and half removed from the surgery, so it is still a bit tender. The guy asks me if I have anywhere that is tender. I tell him I just had surgery and it is still painful to the touch. He says okay. Apparently when you tell them to watch out for a specific area that means they will search THAT spot extra rough and more thoroughly!

Here is the strange part. Afterwards as I'm grabbing my stuff he asks me what my surgery was for. I ask him if I need to answer that. He says, "No. I was just asking." I told him that is personal information and I'd rather not tell him. Then I walked off. I was tempted to complain to a supervisor, but I was running late for my flight.

What would you have done?
