LOS ANGELES -- Travel experts say the more thorough security pat-downs at airports underscore the need for better fashion choices that can help people breeze through screenings with their dignity intact.

--snip--

Experts suggest avoiding clothes loaded with metal studs and bras with underwires. Slacks instead of skirts are preferred. Any baggy clothing can require extra scrutiny.

If I decide to fly again, I'm thinking of wearing a skin-tight spandex full-body catsuit. Do you think that would work?

How the HELL is it “dignified” to let someone take a nude-through-the -clothes picture of you, by force of law?

TSA can KMA!

That depends. Do you look anything like this:

If so,it would work for me. If not, do us all a favor and stay home. :)

Brown shirts should help - or with this administration, pink shirts.

String bikini or speedos under an overcoat.

That might work until some muzzie shows up with an internal bomb.

I just recently found out that Lee Meriwether is a good friend of my aunt’s. They went to high school together in SF (along with Johnny Mathis).

While avoiding a lot of metal studs and jewelry seems like common sense, they can ditch the rest of the "advice."

Not all women wear slacks. Some wear skirts for religious reasons. Should someone who only owns underwire bras go and buy another one just for travel?

The looser clothes will get you pulled aside for a pat-down, as I found out myself a while back (I wanted to say no, I'm not hiding something under there, that's ME under there!) but looser clothing is also more comfortable.

What are they doing with pregnant women these days, to make sure that it's really a baby in there??

So now the Total Sexual Assualt is the fashion police too?

“We just want you to dress so it will be easier for us to molest you”

Only if it is jet-black, and you also wear a pair of those weird shoes that look like gloves for your feet, and top it off with a black derby or top hat.

I mean, you don't want to stand out in line like some kind freak, do you?

"Bulky clothing... extra scrutiny."

Really.

Does anyone actually think that a Moslem woman wearing a bulky burqa or hijab is going to receive ANY scrutiny by the TSA?

Here are the exact words from this article:

The new search technique allows airport security screeners to use their palms and fingers to probe for hidden weapons and devices around sensitive body parts, including clothed genital areas and breasts.

There you have it in print from the so-called "travel experts." Most of the real independent travel experts I know are suggesting people stop flying until this idiocy is brought to a screeching halt.

PS. I want to point out that “the new search technique allows airport security screeners to use their palms and fingers to probe for hidden weapons and devices around sensitive body parts, including clothed genital areas and breasts” reads like the criminal complaint for a serial sexual molestor who just changed his MO on small girls.
