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?"[/QUOTE]



I believe you are talking about me in this post. Just a quick update here, I will also post it on the other thread when I get a chance (flying so much I don't have time!).

I received a call today from someone at TSA at DCA. I spoke with her about the situation for 30 minutes. Bottom line is that she admitted that the screening I received was excessive, and I should not have been forced to remove my shirt.

I am not sure this will really change anything, but it is a step. I will be contacting the reporter from the article.
