The things they put female business travelers through is simply awful. Lets see, lots of potential for explosives in high heel pumps with paper thin soles. And that tiny Hermes silk scarf? Off it comes. Lots of potential for mayhem there. Oh, an underwire bra or metalic earrings? Can't take off the sweater because there is nothing under it? Time for a hand screening. Enough!! Why not randomize screening? The idea that we need to screen everyone is naive. Also, wait times are getting even longer with the new nudo-scan technology. I regularly "opt out" because it simply takes less time to be hand wanded. The next incident will almost certainly involve checked baggage, an airport employee, or more likely another form of transport. The entire screening process needs to be rethought.
