It seems like they could have made that easier in any number of ways without decreasing security. Wow, that is quite an experience.

Door was locked and when I tried to ask what was happening I was told to stay where I was that someone was coming for me. Locked up--trapped and innocent of wrong doing and oh my god, they are coming for me? I had a panic attack. I'd never had one before which made it even more scary. When they came for me, I could barely stand and nod yes and no. When I didn't get my arms high enough the woman used her wand on the underside of my arms to make them go higher. I have been searched before--no big deal but this time being locked up in that glass cell terroized me. I may never fly again. Why did they not tell me, about this instead of letting think I passed the detector and then trapping in the cell? By the way, all I had on me was a clean Kleenex. They gave it back.
