Here's the central problem with screening:
No one should be forced to endure having a government official feel her breasts as a condition of travel. It astounds me that women everywhere haven't risen to protest this injustice, but perhaps the TSA is being smart in molesting only a few women, just a trickle, this way. If it happened to every woman on every flight I'm sure the outrage would have deafened the Congress. This degrading method of search should be outlawed for persons not suspected of a crime.
do you know if before 9/11 private contractors were required to feel in that area, or "pat down" when they got an alarm from an underwire bra as well?

i ask because its in reference to if that particular part has changed in the past, or it has been like that previously before TSA took over.

in other words, did the private contractors ignore some "beeps" or alarms?
