I get that it probably felt like a violation to her but this is the world we live in now and we know this before we get on a plane. She has no basis for a lawsuit and her complaint will likely just be filed with everyone else's.
The alternative is full on racial profiling and that isn't preferable either.
I'm pretty sure that racial profiling is not the only alternative to a full-on strip search.
Yes it is. If the defense here is 'grandma doesn't look like a terrorist', then what does a terrorist look like? Should they only search likely suspects?
Look, I don't agree with it, and I would feel very badly for my mom if this happened and I feel particularly bad for the op's MIL given the PTSD but they're just doing their jobs. I'm sure they don't enjoy it either and I'm not surprised they're not all sunshine and roses while they do it.
I don't think putting their hands on her crotch counts as "just doing their job".
Then again, the Nazis were "just following orders".
People need to get more creative. Like instead of comparing something to the Nazis, try the Khmer Rouge. Or instead of calling someone Hitler, how about Pinochet? It is like a slap in the face to all the other megalomaniacs and war criminals out there.

I dont think anyone is going to disagree with you on racial profiling being a bad thing. ::glares at anyone thinking of disagreeing::

it's the "only alternative" phrase that is distracting from what you're trying to say.
Because not everything's Stalin's purge OR the obliteration of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Ohandplusalso? When I say "purge" I think barfing and obliteration of the indigenous peoples of the Americas is just too bulky for message board fencing.
