I don't have the answer to that, but I've suggested taking still pictures of a patdown.

Now I just watched NBC Nightly News and their segment on patdowns. Did the agent patting down the woman in the yellow shirt use her palms on the woman's "sensitive" areas? It sure looked like it to me. (Don't look at the Today show video on MSNBC to check - that's a different segment than Nightly News showed.)

Also, a good hint for getting through: wear your pajamas and slippers to the airport, put your clothes through the machine, get them on the other end and go change in the bathroom!!!! Apparently, it's a procedure lots of college kids are using.

regarding the older woman (and she was not that much older than I am) who commented to the effect that the search was fine with her because it made flying safer - I just astounds me that people believe that crap. She must have voted for "W".
