I'd didn't ask for details about how the seach was done. Frankly, I just didn't want to know. All I had to hear was "body cavity search" and that was enough for me to be horrified.

I'm wondering if something like a body cavity search is still incredibly rare, and my friend's girlfriend was just horrifically unlucky, or if they are becoming increasingly common? Especially when they aren't based on any evidence of explosives or drugs. This is obviously the first time I'd heard of anything like this personally, so I don't have a very good frame of reference.
