Not to defend what happened in the situation you describe (and I read a similar story about a guy who had to show off his ostomy bag), but I do not envy TSA workers. I was flying Chicago-Boston on Sept 11 this year - of all days for airport security to have to be extra careful! - and listened to one person in line after another hurl abuse at the security agents.<br /><br />That said, would security personnel benefit from more awareness of, for example, post-surgery treatments/therapies/prostheses for folks dealing with cancer? Absolutely! And this is why it's so awesome that your sisters organized the proclamation. Advocacy and awareness are the first steps toward concrete action - whether it's better information for women and their families, more rigorous diagnostics for doctors, or more refined procedures for security agents when confronted with cleavage that looks non-standard to them.Franknoreply@blogger.com
