That's amazing. It's hard to imagine how the behavior of everyone involved (including the PR person, those people are supposed to assume they'll be quoted in some public forum and she said some really boneheaded stuff) could have been less professional without someone committing a felony.
Also, I read last week that so far, all of the complaints of this nature about extra pat-downs were made by women. Not anymore.
(My personal, paranoid theory is that they're just getting us used to this level of intrusiveness before they move on to something that'll actually be effective.)
