Daria MonDesire, in her article, "Stripped of more than My Clothes," addresses the unfortunate indignity she suffered returning home from abroad. Daria was stripped searched on her return to the United States by U.S. Customs agents. Daria uses comparisons and figures to shock the reader and to gain their sympathy. Comparing her strip searcher's hands to that of a rapist and showing the low percentages of people found carrying drugs.

lthough this is an extrememly unfortunate situation there needs to be someway to filter out innocent people from this process. If I was stripped searched I would probably be extrememly upset and angry that I was searched for no reason. Perhaps if someone is under suspicion of having drugs there should be a drug dog near by. If that dog sniffs something they don't like then there would be reason to search the person. If the dog did not smell anything like durgs then there would be no reason to search the person. I think that this would be a completely logical and time saving process for custom agents and the people being searched.
