I would request OP replace the title.
Sorry for those who were offended, but 'gate rape' is, I believe, a colloquial term among some frequent flyers that started (I think) in the days following 9/11...today's LHR event matches my experiences of that era and other unnecessary SSSS screenings...
To make sure I'm not too overboard I searched for & found recent FT postings that use the same term.
As to using the title to get attention, that was not my intention....
