Well this is embarrassing but I'll share my airline story- [View all]

I've flown quite a bit and there is something that the overseas flights let loose in the air that sends me into coughing jags. I can begin to cough and cough and cough. The result of so much coughing can end in me peeing my pants a little bit. I'm an older woman so I wear depends when I fly just in case I start coughing on the plane to prevent accidents.

Well, when I went through the machine at the airport they pulled me aside into a room to feel me up. It was absurd really. They went over every freaking inch of my body very slowly. They did this even after I told them it was just a depends and offered to take it off. They looked at me like I was a terrorist. Gave me very nasty hateful looks as I was being felt up. Then they went up my legs and yes she took her finger and ran it over my crotch. That felt very violating and so I said " Do I even get a cigarette when you're done?" No response just more dirty looks. Then I was allowed back in line with everyone staring at me.

I don't fly anymore.

So any of you elderly people that might be wearing depends- best to take them off before you go through security.
