    I worked for the airlines for years, and I know the importance of stringent security measures, but I'm glad Diana Ross brought attention to this because IMO, the airport authorities have been out of control (mad with power) for far too long. I mean let's be real ... like what the hell did these people think Diana effing Ross was going to do?

    Diana Ross is a VERY STRONG and DETERMINED WOMAN. So glad she stood up for her rights!! She owns her own Brand and has become a musical icon! To see her cry speaks to the need to modify the search process by the police. I was once detained in Dallas, TX, for arguing with a fellow customer. I was humiliating and intrusive.

    I LOVE YOU DIANA ROSS, I AM ONE OF YOUR FAN'S, OF COURSE YOU DO NOT KNOW ME AT ALL, BUT I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. I HEARD YOU SAY, THE FEMALE SECURITY OFFICER HAD NO GLOVES ON
    SHE HAD NO GLOVES ON, WHICH MEANT SHE TOUCH PRIVATE PARTS IN THE BACK, FRONT AND NEAR THE ORGAN, NO ONE SHOULD COME CLOSE TO TOUCHING,
    IF THEY ARE DOING A BODY SEARCH AND USING NO GLOVES AT ALL!!!!
    SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME SEXUAL FANTASIES OF SOME SORT. I COULD NOT HAVE A JOB LIKE THAT, BUT I WOULD RATHER A FEMALE INSTEAD OF A MAN. EITHER WAY
    SHE SHOULD HAVE BY LAW AND FOR SANITARY REASONS BEEN WEARING GLOVES.
    THE SECURITY OFFICER MIGHT HAVE SOME SKIN DISEASE!! AND RUBBING SKIN
    WITH SKIN. THIS IS VERY UNHEALTHY!!!
    I DO HOPE DIANA ROSS, THAT YOU CAN PUT THIS SITUATION BEHIND YOU, AND I HOPE THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN, OR ANYONE.
    SEARCH IS IMPORTANT, BUT I HOPE THAT IT WILL BE MANDITORY, THAT ALL AIRPORTS
    WILL USE MORE UP-TO-DATE EQUIPMENT WHEN IT COMES TO SEARCHING US, BEFORE
    WE GO THROUGH THE CHECK POINTS IN AND OUT OF ALL AIRPORTS FROM NOW ON
    NATIONWIDE. I HOPE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN DIANA ....

    Her problem back then was she screwed up her marriage to Arne Naess and was moody as hell lookin to be aggressive. Triggered. Then she tried to salvage herself with a Supremes reunion tour to fix the negative press but only to screw that up too when cutting out original Supreme Mary Wilson from the tour. Fans weren't having any of her BS and that tour collapsed and she started drinking.
