The term "breast exam" is not monopolized by the medical field.
What's the objective of the TSA-version of the breast exam? To attempt to validate that the breast area/breasts are not concealing prohibited items, right?
If you feel that it's a breast exam, then so be it. Call it a breast exam.
The TSA objective behind the "breast exam" is to resolve the alarm made by the hand wand. True, the previous change contradicts this, since it no longer took an alarm to warrant the pat-down. But that was originaly and is now the objective behind it.
