156. I know I'll be flamed or put on ignore but...
after watching her video, it seems a bit contrived to me... She purposely went into the "pat down" line after refusing to go into the scanner line. She drew unnecessary attention to herself, which made her look suspicious and probably caused the TSA woman to do the pat down by the book just to be on the safe side.

The truth is, 99% of the TSA people couldn't care less about her image on the scanner screen. They are tired--working low wage jobs to get by while being verbally abused by passengers. I'm sure the TSA woman didn't want to pat her down anymore than she wanted to be pat down.

Also, regarding Susie's reasons for going to the pat down line--the machines have been tested thoroughly and are safe for everyone, including pregnant woman.

I think Susie is doing this for attention. She had her camera on ready to film. It would have been nice if she could have had at least one witness corroborate her interpretation of the events. If it turns out the TSA woman went above and beyond and felt her up for pleasure then I will be back to apologize.
