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.

Janice, I think her joint replacements trigger the alarms, probably
every time (my aunt's did). It's got to get old. I wouldn't like it
either, but I'd do it, of course.
