Gate Rape (airline security searches)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Gate Rape" is used on today's Drudge Report to describe an airport
search.  It appears to have been popularized by this TIME story from April
21, 2002:

    Since 9/11, flight crews have often had to go through screening alongside
passengers, and are even pulled aside for special searches. The pilots call
it "gate-rape"; many claim that screeners target them because doing so is an
easy way for them to meet their quota of random searches and because
screeners know crews will be punished by their airlines if they complain.
