Writes Allison Brown: "A former coworker of mine told me about her daughter, a pretty girl in her early 20s, who was at Reagan National for a flight to Los Angeles. She made it through the security checkpoint, but at the gate was 'randomly' chosen for a more thorough check. She was told that in order to board the flight she would have to remove her bra, because of the underwire. This poor girl, too naive to understand she should have protested, was forced to take her bra off (from under her clothes) in plain view of all the other passengers. That was shocking to me, and made me wonder how common stories like that are."
