Typically when a passenger refuses screening they are escorted back to the public side by a TSO or law enforcement if called. And honestly, we don’t really care what class of flyer you are. Plat, gold, whatever, none of our business and does not change anything we do.
Fair enough, but I'll point out I mentioned my status only to make everyone aware that I am 100% successful at expedited screening through PreCheck.

But now my question becomes, why did everything you just said NOT happen to me? Why was I not allowed to be escorted back to the non-secure side? Why did they insist I must complete the screening on my person?

Further, since I was told I set the scanner off because I was sweating, what on earth was the TSO patting me down for? They all but told me it was a false positive, so I can only assume I was sexually assaulted as retaliation for creating a scene. Don't even lie and say that doesn't happen.

ETA: By the way, consenting to sex with my husband is different than consenting under duress to a woman rubbing her hands on my labia and mons pubis. Oh...I'm sorry, did those terms make you uncomfortable?
