Pfffft, I was patted several times in my life, even though I do not wear any pads !
Those guys are buffoons IMHO
Last time they flagged my carry-on for inspection - officer took things out and than said : "Oh, you have a banana - I guess they thought it might be a gun" .... Oh myyyyy dear looooord lol lol - if they can not distinguish shape of a gun from the shape of a banana, than may heavens help us all ...
My family always teases me that I probably look like KGB agent ahahhaaaaaa....
