I flew through O'hare last week and was greeted to the US of A with a VERY enhanced pat down aha. I was told to step out of my shoes (which took literally 5 minutes because I was wearing combat boots), and all the usual things like pockets emptied and belt taken off. Lastly, the officer made me sit on a chair and lift my foot up. He then ran his fingers down the bottom of my socked feet before moving onto the tops. I was wearing knee length socks so the guy actually ran his hands up my entire leg before making his way back to my toes. He stuck his fingers between each toe to see if anything was hidden there. Not sure if anyone experienced this "foot rubbing" before, I thought it was pretty odd as its never happened before.

The most awkward thing is that I HATE when people are near my feet or touch them especially. My girlfriend when she wants to annoy me always goes for my feet. The bottoms of my soles are super receptive I hardly walk barefoot because I hate the feeling of certain textures I walk on. So when the TSA officer went for his initial feel of the bottoms of my feet I jolted a bit, he looked at me for a split second not sure if he thought anything of it and continued the inspection of my socks and ankle area.
