If a female is not "ready/old enough/developed ' to have "something incerted in her. The three qualifiers you listed suggest to me that you were more concerned about age or development. |

I've been reading so many like this. Quite a few happening to solo female travelers coming in from Canada. However male or female, it's not right. I completely agree with you in your opinion and I wouldn't hold my breath either.
They're given way too much power, especially to do this against someone's will This might be requested if one doesn't want to risk being searched by a gay man or lesbian woman. |

"Involuntary penetration of a person" is a peculiar way to characterize a genital exam given by a physician, even if the person did not want to be so examined. But whatever. You all use the word however you wish.

Can you request a strip search be done by a member of the opposite sex?

No, what you wrote was this.
The three qualifiers you listed suggest to me that you were more concerned about age or development. And it is different to make your own appoinment with a physician. Then trying to "travel" and beind forced to have an exam. They are just opposite each other. None pleasent. But one you wanted/needed. Who on earth need that for travelling? |

A medical exam is done for the benefit of the patients health. Nothing that was done to this lady by CBP or the doctors of the El Paso University Medical Center were done to benefit the lady. |

Agree completely.

FWIW, here's a recent D.C. District Court decision (US v. Kim, No. 13-0100-ABJ, May 8, 2015) on this issue.
It ruled (like the other decision I referenced) that a forensic laptop search may not be done by CBP without reasonable suspicion. It's not about strip searches, but does show a limit to border search. (Warrant still not required, though.) |
My daughter and her boyfriend went on vacation to Dubai a couple weeks back and transited through Abu Dhabi where, with no explanation at all, they were pulled into an office and had their baggage ransacked, and the boyfriend being strip-searched. No reason given, and with a very aggressive approach. I've heard more and more tales like this recently. What a terrible way to treat tourists spending money in their country.
