Literally had my hair get patted down at one point while pulled back into a ponytail because it was still slightly damp I guess? Like, wtf could I have been hiding against my scalp?

I have a lot of hair and they always do this to me. I asked the lone TSA agent at the Wichita Falls airport about it once (7 years ago I used to fly there for work and this guy was CRAZY, Id see him almost once a month and he was bonks every time). He told me some weird story about teenage cholas hiding razor blades in their hair at school in the 80s. I was 30 at the time, also it was 2017. Also I am white. Also this is a small town in Texas, not West Side Story.
