Not only is that brutalizing, that's sexual assault or something like that. It DEFINITELY fits under sexual harassment, it MAY fall under sexual assault.
Unfotunately this was before the tapes.
We tried to pursue complaint at the airport (Anchorage) only to be threatened with missing our flight. I was "written up" in an incident report for writing down names and badge numbers. They called it "interference with the seach". I was told that I "had no right ro write down any names or badge numbers".
We pursued every imaginable complaint venue afterwards. Our letters included the names of all employees involved. It went nowhere.
The airline (AK) backed the screeners and also threatened us with removal from the flight if "we are selected for gate check and do not cooperate".
So much for Bart's suggestions. He really needs to "walk in our shoes" for awhile.
We have since put his episode behind us, and I certainly do not enjoy recalling it except in response to drivel along the lines of "Do as you are told, and you'll be fine".
