First of all, I agree with Spiff; don't allow TSA to tell you how to dress. Wear what you feel comfortable and let TSA deal with it.
It does help. I looked at your links, and those are more what I would classify as a top, not a jacket. Just tell them that it's not a jacket; it's a top. I wouldn't ask for these to come off. This is what I consider a suit jacket that needs to come off. Now say a lady is wearing this with only a dickie or a shell underneath and she informed me of such, I wouldn't force her to remove the jacket and expose herself. The protocol for this is to send her to secondary for a pat down in lieu of removing the jacket.
Just to clarify, I did a superquick search on Bloomingdales website to give some examples of women's suits that don't require a shirt underneath:

I hope that helps...

No, my name is the truth, I think maybe you don't know what "peachfronts" are though. I have a photograph of one at the top of my page if you are curious:

You don't even need to do it. All you need to do is learn how to write arabic and post it up online. Then it will become a "credible" threat like how the liquid ban was.

Obscures contours?
How about young males who wear jeans 4 sizes too big hanging off their rear end, with the crotch down by their knees, and about 6 inches too long. Where are the contours there? Are they asked to remove their clothing?

The issue is, not everyone is well versed in female business attire - and so one may be forgiven for not knowing there is nothing on underneath. A simple mistake, but you never have to remove any item of clothing, so ultimately the same thing would happen to you as the young male with very baggy jeans.

Of course not, they should be referred to secondary screening.

But Kippie would rather get his jollies feeling everyone up by proxy.

I agree that security that doesn't include explosives detection equipment is handicapped...

Yeah, except that puffers suck, and have very limited distribution... The things barely stay online for long before requiring servicing, apparently their filters don't handle large terminals well, and they weren't designed for the volumes they are generally saddled with.

However, instead of using a technology that works but has some issues, he's using a technology that works well but doesn't do anything to detect what's being looked for. That doesn't register very high on the smarts scale.
