Melbourne,
(ANI):
Khloe
Kardashian
has
been
criticized
for
comparing
US
airport
searches
to
rape.
In
an
interview
with
comedian
George
Lopez,
Kardashian
said,
“Well,
they
basically
just
are
raping
you
in
public."
“I
got
asked
the
other
day,
do
you
want
to
go
for
a
screening
or
get
patted
down?
-
I
don't
want
that
X-Ray
to
see
everything,
honey," she
said.
Kardashian
decided
to
go
for
the
pat-down
instead,
an
experience
she
decided
was
too
close
for
comfort.
“The
people
are
so
aggressive.
It's
like,
Chill
out,
you
didn't
find
anything
on
me
yet,
calm
down…
They
say,
OK,
I'm
going
to
be
patting
you
down
and
I'm
going
to
be
touching
the
crease
of
your
ass.
That
is
so
inappropriate,"
News.com.au
quoted
the
26-year-old
as
she
informed
about
the
procedures.
However,
as
per
the
RadarOnline.com,
Kardashian"s
comments
angered
victim"s
rights
advocates
who
claim
the
TV
star
underestimated
the
severity
of
sexual
assault.
"Rape
is
a
crime
of
violence.
I
believe
that
the
word
should
not
be
used
loosely
to
describe
security
measures
at
airports
or
at
any
other
place,"
said
high-profile
lawyer
Gloria
Allred.
Jessica
M
Cavey,
Communications
Specialist
for
the
National
Sexual
Violence
Resource
Centre
said
her
use
of
the
word
rape
“minimizes
the
experience
of
an
actual
rape,
which
is
a
very
severe
and
traumatic
form
of
violence."
