Was patted down in airport and then taken to a side room where two women made me expose my stoma. My artificial joints show up on the x-ray, which is ok to pat down. Why other body parts are necessary is beyond me, but perhaps they are. I started out saying it was an ileostomy but the first woman didn't know that word, nor 'bag', nor additional more graphic explanation. Why I then tried to explain a K pouch is beyond me. After another ten minutes her super arrived. Neither of the two women would listen to my explanation, especially that the soft feeling was because the pouch was full. Another ten minutes of talk on their part, including "it's fine, it's fine..", but no acknowledgment that it was not fine with me. If not needing to catch a flight--really, why else was I there at 05:30 with no spare time--I would have lodged a complaint as none of this was necessary, had either had decency to listen. No time for toilet stop, nor coffee, prior to flight!! Sure hope other K-pouchers don't experience this. Greatly appreciate ability to share and others' compassion. Janet
