I can't understand why you would ask that question? I consider it an

that's strange, then I'm strange. When they pull me aside and pat me down I
consider it a personal violation. Maybe you wouldn't, but I do. I have had
one of those "pat downs" be particularly personal--feeling between my legs
and my breasts. It was a woman attendant, but I felt it went beyond reason.


Barb,

It is must be a personality thing, because I think it is a small price
to pay. I travel a LOT and while I have never been patted down in this
country, I have been patted down in many foreign countries and by men.
When I take Nina and her wheelchair, then she is patted down and
doesn't seem to mind.

I guess I just wanted to hear you say the words and I guess I just
wanted to say that I am surprised that you would feel so violated.
