I can't be the only person who tried 'TSA Agent' for "...ability to perform pat downs..."

“Ma’am? Step over here”, he said and as their azure eyes met across the airport metal detector, she could tell by his tone that this would not be a regular patdown.
“Take off your shoes”, he said, and she had to fight the urge to remove more than just her footwear.
The piercing whines of his metal detector echoed the gasping moans of passion she imagined as his wand slowly made its way up and down her body, close, but never, never quite touching. Here a peep, there a little squeal.

I wish I could claim credit for the "Perhaps because of..." column, but that was a clever addition by the editors. I approve!

I must have tried all other "pat down" professions I could think of... TSA, cop, masseur, jailor, warden, security guard?? Drat.
