So I'm going for an Umrah in two weeks and I haven't flown since before these new procedures (TSA pat-downs) were implemented and I'm just a little nervous cause I've heard horror stories of people feeling violated and such even though they are conducted by same-sex officers.. I obviously don't want to go through the machine screening so it's the pat-down for me... I mean I know they probably give hijabis and people with beards and such a harder time but I don't wear hijab and my dad (who I'm traveling with) doesn't have a beard but still we are going to the middle east so I suspect they will be rougher. :hmm: anyone have any experience with it?
