If I go to the airport and get selected for a pat down, can I tell the 'agent' that while I look like a guy, I'm actually a woman under my clothes so that I could get a woman to pat me down instead?
I'm uncomfortable having a guy touch my undercarriage, but don't particularly mind when females do so.
I know this will be tough for many, but this is actually a serious question, what kind of rules are there surrounding transgender patdowns?
As someone who's been the "bad guy" in police training with male and female trainees, I can say with authority that you do not want women patting you down. "Gentle sex", it's to laugh.
I was stuck in line at the Ft Lauderdale airport last year watching people pulled to the side for patdowns and I realized they are complete bs and a waste of time. Mothers with crying children were pulled aside for patdowns while men of obvious mid-east extraction strolled through unimpeded. It looks like the NSA/FBI can't spy on mosques and the TSA won't pat down muslims.
I feel safer.
But I thought everyone wants a prostate exam at boarding gates from a chunky federal retard.

If you act like the kind of smartass you may truly be, you might get pulled aside for a strip search and a full rectal probe! They can do this you know.
The searches are random and racial profiling is not allowed. I am sure that plenty of Muslims get patted down. Is there a reason that you think mothers with crying children should be excluded?
OBVIOUSLY, the terrorists have won.
Well-documented harassment of the elderly, infirm, handicapped, and yes, mothers with crying children is 99.999999% BS.

Well...just how many news stories can you link to where mothers with crying children of a non-middle eastern persuasion committed terrorist acts?

Unless it happens to you. My SO is disabled, and TSA treats him with high suspicion, after all, I guess an elderly blind veteran could potentially be a threat, that graphite cane could be a weapon. Built up diabetic shoes, obviously filled with explosives...his bag of batteries, medication, and adaptive equipment, looks like bomb making supplies.
Aside from him being blind, and almost stone deaf, which makes travel difficult enough...going thru TSA takes quadruple time. One time, the agent almost tackled him, he did not come when the TSA motioned him to go to a scanner, or hear him over the noise.
All I can say, the TSA agents need training, on working with people with disabilities.
