Well, I'm sure you can find longer sheer dresses. Suddenly, the government is going to tell us what to wear or what not to wear?!! Also, once you're done with the security screening, you can put on a cover-up or change. also, the tsa usually makes females take off their jackets and sweaters so if someone complains, the passenger can just say that they were obeying orders and taking off their jacket/cover-up. I'm sure someone can find an almost see-through outfit that meet the government's dress code for travel.

Why would she need to change what she wears since TSA wants to see you naked while you are actually wearing clothes. All she had to do was bend over or sit down and it would of had the exact same effect since her skirt was suppose to be so short that it was just to revealing to allow her to remain on the plane.

I had to opt out again on Tuesday while flying out of RDU. They literally had a traffic cone in the WTMD to block access. There is one TSO at RDU that is pretty nice and has frisked me multiple times, he saw me and said he would pat me down. I don't get the obsession of using the NoS at RDU.

It wasn't just your ordinary mini skirt.

IIRC, that picture is a bit misleading. It's a bit hard to see, but you can tell by the snap on her skirt where the waistband is. I believe the skirt was several inches higher when she tried to board. She pulled it down as far as she could for this picture. Also her top exposed her middle when she tried to board.

Got randomly selected again at IND yesterday. I was actually allowed to watch my belongings and the a nice old TSA woman moved the barricade so I could watch them better, this was a first at IND. Then the NOS TSA frisker almost hit me when she somehow released the barricade strap.
Then my molester showed up but wanted to leave my stuff on the belt and I didn't want to. So he called a code "Green" and supervisor, my normal shadow (supervisor who usually follows me through the screening) wasn't there. Another passenger tried to take one of my laptops while we were waiting for a supervisor, claiming he was checking to make sure he picked up his correct laptop even though I put my bags and shoes around my laptops to help separate them.
My pat down was quick and actually didn't molest me. I wish the TSA would get their policies straight and make sure all their employees knew them. Other than stupidity of the whole thing, this week was better than most.

If someone with two waistbands is getting frisked (someone whose pants are really sagging without the belt/suspenders/hands to hold them up, or just a kid making a bit of a fashion statement whose pants droop below his boxers), which waistband do the screeners stick their hands in?
The outerwear waistband (which may be inches higher than the underwear waistband), the underwear waistband - or both (double your pleasure)?
