Bag inspection Equality!

If there was one thing that irked me about the bag security inspection in the malls, it would have to be the fact that some people blatantly ignore this security measure.

I'm more than a little annoyed when:

People barrel through the lines for the opposite gender. I would understand if they were members of the third gender, but these are perfectly rational, hopefully literate and well dressed members of society who que up on the wrong line because it's shorter.

What the hell? The very reason the lines were segregated by gender is to avoid any uncomfortable incidents when the guards frisk you for firearms or hidden weapons.

People which decide to que up in the wrong lines should be treated with the same disregard. Women should be thoroughly frisked by the male security guard, while men should be frisked by the women security guards.

Security takes priority over your personal space. If you feel degraded, humiliated or just plain embarrassed when the guards frisk you down, then you can only blame yourself.

Maybe if we make this mandatory for everything that all members opposite gender that que in the wrong place must be frisked, we'll have fewer incidents, and more cooperative people.
