To try to take this thread in a different direction, here is my beef

It is insulting to ask a grown woman to disrobe with no PC and only some kind of an "alarm" that isn't explained as pretext. The part that sets me off my trolley is that the same screening process allows situations like the one in the link to occur. Yes, I know that not everything can be detected. But that knife that was missed was a lot more lethal than anything that OP's wife had.

According to the article, the errant passenger had detectable bad behavior, even with police. It was that bad behavior that alerted the flight crew to him and got him questioned. My guess is that his behavior would have been detectable at screening, too.

TSA continues to focus on the fringes (the Afro hair search yesterday) and seems to ignore obvious things like a knife. Tell me again why we are doing this?

Regardless of protests to the contrary, that is the whole idea - draconian and humiliating. These are lessons in subservience, not security protocols.
