Question

I hate to be a skeptic -- and this post is totally guaranteed to get me flamed big-time -- but I have a little trouble believing that the TSA did a body-cavity search on anybody. The TSA can search up to a point. That point keeps moving forward, beyond what most of us like, but it certainly hasn't reached body cavities yet. We would know about this! It would be in the news.

Moreover, passengers can stop a TSA search at any time and simply leave the airport. How many women would allow a search to reach the point described in this story? Wouldn't most women just leave and find another way home?

I am a major opponent of the TSA. But I try to base my opposition on actual practices and events, not stories that seem false. Sorry if I offend anybody.
