Force and humiliation in Paris Airport

To whom it may concern,


On 23rd of October at 17:40 PM, for my flight to Amsterdam (Gate 32), I had to pass through security check at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.


Currently, I'm 3 months pregnant. Even though companies claim that x-rays are safe, I don't think that exact health effects on the babies are known. Therefore, during security check, Iâ??ve asked for a manual check. I fly very frequently, and in other airports this was perfectly normal, never had any refusals.


Last Friday, I have got FORCED by the security team to pass through the detector.

At first, I thought there was not lady security person available but once I passed the detector, I saw 2 ladies literally chatting at the back. Therefore, I wanted the explain that

I was very frustrated. However, the lady told me (excuse my French!) that- I do not give a damn about what you think; you can go back and not take the flight. Go back, go back BYE-. Therefore, on the top of not having any explanation, I have got humiliated.


It was a totally unpleasant experience for me. I started to shake and had cramps.

I dont think that you can treat any person this was, let alone any pregnant woman.


Thus, I have one request,


I would like the see a report stating that Paris de Gaulle metal detectors are safe by a third part study on pregnant woman. (Not from the Detector Company).


Also, I hope they better train their personnel and recruit more mature people who can actually have decent conversations with passengers.


Kind Regards,
