Women of all ages wear pads for various reasons. I have been patted down a few times but I would demand a supervisor if they wanted to strip search me.

I don’t think it was a pad, from the description. More an internal apparatus.
If she’s only 51, why do they refer to her as Grandma? To try to get sympathy for her?
That's what I was wondering too. Too many articles use "a mom" or "a grandma" or a "veteran" when it has absolutely nothing to do with the subject. I've also rarely seen men described as "a father" or "a grandfather" in various headlines, seems to be mainly reserved for women.

As I understand it, this is a low paying job. You get what you pay for.
Quite honestly, at a busy airport, JFK, Logan, Atlanta, O’Hare, the TSA guys must be ready to explode, after a couple of hours of dealing with John Q. Public.
I was at La Guardia maybe 5 years ago, travelling to Fort Myers FL.
Going through security, there was a TSA guy calling, “Remove belts, shoes, and everything from your pockets.”
I walked through the security arch, and BUZZ, I went back and tried again, BUZZ, went through a third time, still no good, this guy patted me down, somehow, I had a dime in the breast pocket of my shirt.
He said, “What part of empty all your pockets didn’t your limey ears understand?”
I wanted to smack him in the mouth, but sanity prevailed, and I mumbled an apology.

Oh yeah, I've encountered the mean-spirited, chastising TSA agents. There was one guy who told me to "turn around" after I went through the metal detector, so I did. Then he said "no, the other way" and rolled his eyes and grunted.
Combine low pay with a power trip and it shouldn't be surprising that many of them are rude.
