I think it has more to do with the oodles of makeup, plunging neckline, dangerously short mini skirt and fishnet stockings Dan wears when he’s on holiday 🤪

To be ever so slightly serious, I wonder if this is a crafty way of getting DNA samples…..

I’m swabbed every time since I can’t remember and I go with the flow - they also swab a lot of people who don’t have pacemakers. I have absolutely no problem with a bit of personal attention 😁

I asked then last time if they were swabbing for drugs and she said “ no it’s for explosives “ .

I was frisked when going through the scanner in Rhodes. Whether it was because of sternal wires following bypass I don't know. Anyway, she really gave me the once over or twice. She went right up the inside of my bra and had a right good feel!
