Thanks GradGirl.
Now this is the
official wording for the process, and so it also is what we use here, I assume. Just wondered if there is any moniker for this procedure.
And yes, I share your experience, countless times. Having a passport of the
wrong colour, attracts the searchers.

It did not appear to me that this was the allusion of TSAMGR. The pun in the wording is probably the emphasis of the non consentual body contact.
IMHO the word 'screening' is at least as inappropriate as 'rape' as it does not reflect the harassment and humiliation of the questionable procedure. Even though I agree that it is not entirely useless.
This is why I asked if there is a more accurate nickname for it.
