Does invasive search call for a refund?

What does a country owe you when its customs agents give you the once-over at the border, even though you’re completely innocent of any criminal activity? Should it refund your vacation? Christopher Elliott has the details of one woman’s trip to Bermuda that began with an invasive search of her body for drugs. Officers found no drugs and offered no apology. Humiliated by the experience, the woman wrote to the Bermudan prime minister asking that the $1,500 for her trip be refunded. Believe it or not, she actually got a response… but, alas, no refund.
