That has not been my experience in various Italian airports.
Around the world at a large number of airport checkpoints, nobody has ever
- pulled down my underwear
- put their hands into my crotch
- lifted my skirt above the knees
- forced limbs to contort causing severe pain
- rubbed their hands along my bare upper thighs
That has only happened to me in the US, and occurred about 60% of the time I passed through a TSA checkpoint. (Add of course the other indiginities such as telling me that I am 'saying my name wrong', which has only happened in the US to that list)
The reports on TS&S are people's perceptions of what occurred. I can only use my past experience, combined with the nature of the reports and the reporter's history, as well as general observations and feedback to determine whether or not I will place much stock in the report.
And as I have stated several times, I do think that the perception is not always the reality. That of course also applies to my own reports, and our perception of the same situation vary greatly.
But I will gladly fly from any airport around the world over flying from a US airport, and I have flown from many 'bad' countries over the world.
