"Last week we talked about the outrage surrounding the new airport security pat-down rules, and since, news reports have been swirling about incidents at airports that just feel, well, wrong--like this story of a breast cancer survivor who was forced to remove her prosthetic breast for a TSA pat-down. Good grief. Fox is reporting that cancer survivor Cathy Bossi, of North Carolina, ran into a violating experience when she was being pat-down at an airport via the new airport security screening measures. Bossi says Transportation Security Administration agents took her to a private room for what she described as an &amp;quot;aggressive pat-down.&amp;quot; When the agents got to her right breast, where she&amp;#x27;d had surgery (she&amp;#x27;s a 3-year breast cancer survivor), things got strange. &amp;quot;She put her full hand on my breast and said, &amp;#x27;What is this?&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; Bossi said. &amp;quot;And I said, &amp;#x27;It&amp;#x27;s my prosthesis because I&amp;#x27;ve had breast cancer.&amp;#x27; And she said, &amp;#x27;Well you&amp;#x27;ll need to show me that.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; The agent then removed the prosthetic breast from her bra. Sorry, but this pat-down stuff is out of control, in my opinion. But, sadly, top FAA officials warn that they don&amp;#x27;t plan on making any changes to the maddening policy. (That, even after reports that TSA officials patted down a bladder cancer survivor carrying a urine bag, leaving him humiliated and covered in his own urine.) Chime in, gals. Would you feel violated if you were patted down in this way? Are you traveling over the holidays? More reading: *The #1 thing to do to stay germ-free on airplanes... *Passport ... panties?
