Then what are you complaining about? If you don't have anything to hide, you have nothing to worry about. They're only trying to keep everyone safe.
LOL! It would be a pretty nifty bomb to align perfectly under a short ponytail and/or thin knit clothes and give no sign on the scanner, but still be feel-able by that grope!
The thing is, I know you're kidding, but way too many people believe exactly that (if you have nothing to hide...) I wish more travellers with clout were demanding more personal bodily integrity and/or civil rights. Or that I had some idea of how to do so without the automatic assumption of guilt of some nefarious crime/intent. I also am not wild about being put on some "always grope because she asks questions" list. I hate being so paranoid about these meta-issues, too.
...and also @4nsicdoc - thx for the clarification. So battery, not assault. Eek. Yes, unsalted slugs.
