This article gives the insights that some travelers have written on customer complaint forms to the TSA (Transportation Security Administration), including my favorites:
"If you have an artificial leg, be prepared for it to be X-rayed separately."
and
"She basically rubbed me down and cupped my breasts like a $2 hooker,"
The lady whose breasts were searched asked the security guards if it was good for them. What comeback would you suggest for the crip with the artificial leg?
