"Sort of"

The Left Coaster cites a report that
TSA EMPLOYEES AT REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT - INCLUDING SUPERVISORS - TOLD US THAT PASSENGERS WERE ASKED TO REMOVE THEIR CLOTHING AND EXPOSE THEIR PRIVATE PARTS DURING SECURITY SCREENINGS
That certainly goes too far, but some of the women they cite sound like they're exaggerating: "Woman #1: 'Sometimes they overdo it. I've been almost stripped, practically.'" "Woman #2: 'You're sort of treated like a criminal.'" "Almost?" "Practically?" "Sort of" In other words, you weren't. "The look on their face would almost give you the sense that they felt like they were in a sense being raped. In a sense, being victimized and to a certain extent, they were." "Almost"? "To a certain extent"?!!

Now I suppose on my upcoming flight I'll be almost practically sort of raped, to a certain extent.
