Well, Holly, I would have to disagree with your assessment. I wrote this column, and no, I'm nowhere near "out of [my] mind." Perhaps you didn't note the part where I reported the "hits" were on my CROTCH, KNEE and ANKLE, and no, my pocket had not "shifted over" in front of my vagina.
I won't bother explaining anything else to you, since you seem to be okay with unreasonable searches--as named in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which is NOT any foreign country in which you've been groped by "security" forces.
I’ve been patted down plenty of times. But, I’ve traveled a lot and it doesn’t freak me out.
