"devastated" is an extreme, hyperbolic, maudlin way of describing it. Devastating would be a good description of the effect of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Not on being patted down by airport security. That's called "being patted down by airport security", coupled with being emotional about it.
Somebody might be emotionally devastated by that sort of behaviour. Especially someone who had suffered a very emotional experience, such as sexual assault/rape. It's an apt description.
I'm scratching my head. That's the only thing you want to comment upon? Semantics? I'm devastated by the amount of people willing to give up their rights for a group (TSA) that has shown no competence whatsoever regarding what they're supposed to be doing.
(I also don't want to be seen naked in an airport.)
