A TSA patdown of a traveler goes way too far. The TSA responds by saying the TSA agent who conducted the patdown did it appropriately. Via Rare:
Did a TSA security pat-down get out of hand?
Angela Rye, a CNN political commentator, NPR political analyst and chief executive of the political advocacy firm IMPACT Strategies, expressed outrage at the grabby nature of a screening at Detroit Metropolitan Airport this week.
“I was just thoroughly traumatized by the TSA,” she said in a Periscope video. “I’ve been randomly selected maybe three times in my life. Even if they think this is OK, it’s not. I’ve never been a victim of unwanted touching until today. I literally started crying while this was happening. It’s not right.”
Rye, a former Congressional Black Caucus executive director and general counsel, has issued a complaint to the TSA and wrote about the experience on CNN.com.
Rye tweeted footage of the screening, saying she asked a police officer to record the interaction so that she could send it to he TSA.

I asked the police officer to film this so I can send to @TSA. I’m hoping my humiliation will fix the system. #TSAVaginaMonologues https://t.co/lypkkcpZCW
