This story proves that I am not paranoid.

A large breasted woman was stopped by the TSA in the airport and they tried to pat her down because she had on an underwire bra.

She objected and asked for a supervisor. The supervisor told her she could go for a pat down in a private room. Once again she said no but she told them she would take off the bra.

“They tried to humiliate me and I was not going to be humiliated over this,” Kates said. “If I was carrying nail clippers and forgot about them, I wouldn’t have gotten so upset. But here I was just wearing my underwear.”

I’ve heard of this before so I’m not surprised.

Personally I refuse to wear an underwire bra when I travel.

I have these old, old bras given to me by my grandmother. Yes they have me flopping around all day but they fit and best of all-no wire.

My mother laughed at me when I told her my routine but I knew I wasn’t crazy. If someone tried to feel me up my response wouldn’t be pretty.

Maybe I’ll forward this story to her.
