Seems there is a hub-bub abrewing, especially by female passengers, of the pat down techniques used be airport security personel:

Many passengers object to theis overly...shall we say ...familiar manner in which body searches are being done. So at what point does a persons indignation and sense of morals supercede the security of the aircraft? Now before some of you start a twitching at the knee, Doctors and nurses may touch patients in the same manner for nothing more than a cold or to check for hemroids.
Now my answer would be to have me hired as a screener to check out the ladies. I can guarantee you that when I'm done "examing" them they will walk away with a sigh, a twinkle in their eye and their husband asking them why they are smiling so. One just has to "handle" these matters in the proper manner.

So how long until we have to submit a urine sample two weeks in advance of flying? I'm all for security, but security should be as non-invasive as possible. The security measures being taken today do little to ensure safety and everything to insure invasivness and inconvenience.

Little extreme there Vader. I'd like to meet the guy/gal who manages to turn his/her urine into a chemical weapon for that to actually warrant happening

Some women need to suck it up and get on with their day. They could be doing a whole lot worse then a patdown if they suspected something, like multiple cavity searches. So boohoo, quitcherbitchin.
