At mu age I really don't care whether I have to go through one of these screenings. i don't think that the sight of my body is going to titillate anyone nowadays. However, as a young woman, it might have caused me more concern.

I certainly think that the security staff should be more respectful - joking about something like that is not warranted and should be dealt with as soon as it starts.

On silly requirements - I took a pair of small, rounded end scissors on a flight out of Heathrow last December and they were confiscated, even though they were well within the rules, which I checked the night before flying. As a result I was unable to crochet during the flight. Another woman on the plane had long knitting needles - certainly much more capable of being used as a weapon than my little scissors. I thin I got the jobsworth checking me.
