[always wrong never right]

We flew out of Milwaukee to Orlando because it was a lot cheaper and we could spend some time on either end of our trip with different friends in Milwaukee.

I have a twice replaced knee, pretty much a bionic knee due to an implanted computer chip. My best friend, who went with us, rides in a transport chair for long distances due to balance issues. Both of us needed to be "patted down" at the checkpoint. hers was pretty quick, but it took me almost 20 minutes, and the female agent did place her thumbs against my private parts. I was humiliated and felt like I was beiing raped for the second time in my life. I will never fly out of Milwaukee again, no matter how much cheaper it is.

On the way back, I breezed through the pat down in Orlando in less than 5 minutes. It was a one thousand time better experience.

So, why the disparity? Sadly, I think it is just that the horrid woman in Milwaukee wanted to feel oh so important. Sadly, if I complain, the next time that I fly, I will be a target.
