Richie, your post was about a woman who thought her pat-down was too personal and was conducted at the airplane gate.

I merely asked how your wife's trip up north went for your granddaughter's first birthday and if your wife had to endure an enhanced pat-down or full body screening.

Nothing meant to be against your beliefs since you have made them clear on this subject and you have every right to your viewpoints.

Yes, your analogy of not being mugged for many years in NYC does fit in. Lots of people do say NYC is so dangerous - and they are fabricating it.
