Allowing screeners ANY latitude to touch a person's private parts is playing with fire, even if myrgirl and other individual screeners are making their best efforts to treat passengers with dignity. The bottom line is that forcing women to submit to having their breasts touched by strangers is indecent and revolting. Breast fondling as public policy is just shameful. I hope the perverts who thought this one up spend a long time in prison and a longer time in hell.
I read the article. It was mostly supportive of our position on this issue. I dont gather from it that there is a multitude of passengers that are up in arms over this. The picture plainly shows that the procedure is being done correctly.
