I watched it again and it doesn't look like a cavity search to me and for the record Trooper Helleson is female.

I don't get all the fuss either. I watched the news video and it didn't look anything like a real cavity search. I also didn't see anything the TSA doesn't do every day in airports, and like the female officer, TSA agents do not change gloves between passengers. As long as suspects keep hiding their drugs and weapons in their pants, it's a legitimate place to search for contraband.
