Some Good News for Holiday Travelers

As an update to my post earlier this month on complaints being made by women being violated and humiliated during patdowns in airports, it looks like some action has finally been taken.
NBC11.com reported yesterday that the government has modified screening procedures for female passengers, prohibiting security to feel in between their breasts, which they were formerly allowed to do. Now they are only authorized to check the perimeter of the chest, backside and stomach.
So is this a good change? Sure. Will women no longer feel invaded during airport screenings? Eh, I don’t know about that. Let’s hope this is just a start.
