Too Touchy?

Airport security protocols have been significantly tightened over the years, reflecting a robust response to threats such as terrorism and illegal smuggling or trafficking. Despite these necessary precautions, undergoing body searches at these checkpoints often becomes a source of discomfort and embarrassment for travelers, particularly when subjected to invasive procedures like cavity searches.

Thankfully, this airport has shown sensitivity by ensuring that female passengers are searched by female staff members, minimizing potential discomfort and embarrassment. However, airport security in the United States manages the flow of about 2.56 million passengers daily. This immense figure underscores the magnitude of TSA staff responsibility, so it’s nothing personal.
