Nobody should get a civil penalty for expressing their feelings of discomfort at someone touching their body. There's no indication she hit/touched the screener. Why should she be penalized?
Your tone implies to me that you are comfortable with using civil penalties to intimidate passengers into silence. I hope that is not the case.
No, not speculation. I just was trying to avoid another quote from the article:

She would not have been "breast-examined" the next day unless she was SSSSd (probable retaliation for being denied travel the day before), or secondaried by the checkpoint (almost certain retaliation for being denied travel the day before, because she clearly was clueful enough no to alarm the WTMD, hence her first encounter).

. . .
speculation.
My speculation is supported by your statement that there "still had to be a method of carrying on the explosives." Anal/vaginal cavities are such a method. Therefore I speculate that the TSA might someday be interested in probing these cavities.
Stripping is not something that is done. When you say strip, it infers getting naked. You are not required to remove your clothing or your shoes for that matter. The choice is yours. There is a downside though.
There was a thread here the other day on a woman that was forced to strip down to her undergarmets by TSA because she was wearing a zippered-sweatshirt. That stripping was not in lieu of a patdown; they
required her to strip in addition to the patdown.
Where do we draw the line on "anything for security?"
