LOL. Woman wears bikini to avoid TSA patdown

Well, that's one way to do it! 
Re: LOL. Woman wears bikini to avoid TSA patdown
Tempting
I read about a guy who took all his clothes, except for his boxers, off AT security, placed the clothes on the belt and walked through the metal detectors. He was told to put his clothes back on for his required patdown.
He was then arrested, as was the woman who video'd the whole thing. Which is...just a whole 'nother issue in and of itself.
Anyway, kind of funny though...definitely one way to avoid a patdown...seriously, what are the grounds for body scanning and/or patting down a woman wearing a bikini?!
In fact, on that note - you know what's probably next? Government issued spandex body suits in TSA blue for all travelers! (No really, I wouldn't put it past them...especially if someone in Homeland Security has any investments in spandex manufacturing...)
I read about that, so funny.
When I was on my way to Jamaica I did the scan and on my way back got the pat down TWICE. The TSA agent said "this scan isn't the one you have been reading about...blah blah blah...the pat down will be extremely invasive.." so I opted for the scan. I am quite sure he was lying to me so he didn't have to call in a female TSA agent to pat me down.
I wish I were just wearing a bikini!
How about a nude leotard?
Love it! I've seen several of these videos now.
I found that when traveling with dogs, they just send you through the metal detector and thats it. I was waiting for them to ask to pat down my dogs
I also heard a TSA agent lie to someone when they asked if the machine emitted radiation. Then the person opted out anyways, and the TSA agents were REALLY rude to them.

LOL!
Are patdowns and screenings only done by someone of the same sex?
I vote that the TSA should just hire hot men and women to do opposite-sex patdowns and screenings. If I could request a hot guy to do either, I'd have no complaints.
Women don't want to hear what men think,
women want to hear what they think, in a deeper voice

But yeah...still, pretty awful.
C&P of her email:
"This email isn't going to be as polished as I would normally send, but I'm upset and I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else (if I can stop it). I recently traveled via air, and was subjected to that new scanning device. "No problem," I thought. I was wearing jeans and a linen tanktop, bra, panties, and one camoflauge pantyliner. I'm a rule follower, so I never have any problems at the airport. Not this time. I was stopped, and then held for 15 mintues while they tried to find a female supervisor. I couldn't get to my bag, my shawl or my shoes; just standing there while the TSA agents kept me in one place. Now, I don't want this to be about bad TSA agents; they were doing their job, they were as delicate as they could be, etc., etc. But what ultimately happened is that I was subjected to search so invasive that I was left crying and dealing with memories that I thought had been dealt with years ago of prior sexual assualts. Why? Because of my flannel panty-liner. These new scans are so horrible that if you are wearing something unusual (like a piece of cloth on your panties) then you will be subjected to a search where a woman repeatedly has to check your "groin" while another woman watches on (two in my case - they were training in a new girl - awesome). So please, please, tell the ladies not to wear their liners at the airport (I didn't even have an insert in). I'm a strong, confident woman; I'm an Army vet (which is why those camo liners crack me up), I work full-time and go to graduate school full-time, I have a wonderful husband, and I don't take any nonsense from anyone. I don't dramatize, and I don't exaggerate. I'm trying to give you a sense of who I am so you won't think that this is a plea for attention, or a jumping on the bandwagon about the recent TSA proposed boycott. I just don't want another woman to have to go through the "patting down" because she didn't know that her glad-rag would be a matter of national security."
This happened to my friend last week!
