    This is why I don't fly! F*ck all of them. I know they have a job to do but come on, you have to draw the line somewhere!

    Difference between federal and private security:

    a) While trying to get on a plane, toddler and parents are harassed because they have sealed juice boxes. Common sense plays no part in the actions of the security guard.

    b) While going to a sporting event, security tells diabetic woman she can't bring outside food or drinks into the arena. Woman explains she has diabetes, and needs the juice in case her blood sugar gets low. Security guard uses common sense, apologizes, and lets the woman in.

    I have nothing but contempt for the entire organization and everyone employed there.

    If she was truly molested you should have right away called the police and filed charges before leaving the building.

    If she was simply patted down like everyone else that buzzes through the metal detector, either accept that's what it takes to fly in an airplane or drive your car next time.

    I know me personally if I would witness someone molesting my wife, I would need to be restrained to keep from seriously hurting someone.

    The problem is that, as far as I know, she did receive the "simple pat down". Unacceptable. That sort of groping, especially in front of everybody, is disgusting, and would (or should) be illegal in any other circumstance I can think of, except maybe right before you were being thrown in prison.

    Unfortunately, I have to fly a lot for work, so I don't really have a choice most of the time. But we decided that we will be driving from now on. We shouldn't have to just "accept that's what it takes to fly in an airplane". I do not believe that wanting to fly on a plane should force you to accept some creep federal agent feeling your breasts. Wanting to fly shouldn't mean you have to give up your 4A protected rights. There has got to be a better way. Until there is, we will drive.

    If what happened to his wife at the airport, happened to your wife in ANY other circumstances, we'd be reading about the consequences of your last sentence.

    I have metal hardware thoughout my body . I get to deal with these clowns a lot do to traveling for work and being bolted together. It is very rare to meet one that is helpful. It is typically an attitude of I am here for only 8hrs and could care less about anything else. Eastcoast is much worse with their duties.

    Just another reason not to fly. If you do purchase a ticket to fly you know what you may have to encounter. Last plane I was on had 11 guns on it in the cabin and two with the pilots. That flight was secure! Carry on.
