Traveling out of Eugene, Oregon this past Saturday the 26th I went through security without setting off any alarms but was pulled over for secondary due to not taking off my shoes.

A female screener was called over and proceeded to wand my shoes and then myself, brushing over my clothes with her wand, causing it to go off from touching the rivets in my jeans, zipper, etc. I asked for a supervisor as I was fairly certain that the wand shouldn't be touching the clothing or person and was told it was alright because it enhanced security. Glancing over at another woman who was being wanded I noticed the screener to be taking great pains to stay away from the woman's body with the wand. Hmm. Asked for a complaint form and was told I would get one after the screening was completed. The pat down commenced, was not with the back of the screener's hand and I can assure all TSA agents, no matter what the official line and policy may be, the sides and undersides of a woman's breasts are most definitely private areas and it is highly embarassing to be felt up by a stranger in front of strangers in the name of "safety."

I live in Alaska and quite often my only option available is via flying and I am so sick and tired of being treated like a criminal in my own country and feeling victimized for daring to want to board an aircraft. I have already written to my senators and congressman, the TSA and everywhere else that I can think of and it saddens me to believe all I will get out of it is a form letter stating what a great job was done in the name of protecting the flying public.
