A woman has complained that new US airport security measures saw her picked out for further screening because of her breasts.
Eliana Sutherland was flying from Orlando International Airport and said she felt violated by security workers.
It was the latest revelation to hit the Transportation Security Administration which imposed the checks and whose officers have been on the receiving end of a series of allegations.
Her claims come after thousands of Americans reacted furiously to the imposition of new airport security measures, including full body scans and hands-on patdowns.
And experiences like those described by Sutherland could see increased support for boycott of the TSA's controversial checks.
Sutherland told her local news station that two male TSA workers had been staring at her chest and singled her out for additional screening.
'It was pretty obvious. One of the guys that was staring me up and down was the one who pulled me over,' she said. 'Not a comfortable feeling.'

What I find most disturbing about the enhanced TSA screening is that it is not a temporary measure that we must endure until terrorism is defeated. It is a permanent intrusion on our liberties that will only get worse over time because we have no plan for victory. Hell, our government won’t even name our enemy or say the word victory!
They should just profile eyebrows...
LOL.
I don’t mind.
I’m a far right wing extremist, after all.
Everyone attacks me. I was just attacked at Thanksgiving dinner by a clueless and highly annoying Socialist b!tch.

She finally left when I did my classic comparison of Pinochet to JFK and showed Pinochet to be the kinder, gentler - and far more successful man.
lol. that is a VERY excellent point!!
Those are hilarious.
For that last picture, “TSA is at your cervix.”

“Congress should defund and disband the TSA, and revert security back to the airports and airlines.”
Agreed we need to do something to reign them from assuming we are all guilty. I have big time reservations about hiring a private security firm like Blackwater (and that’s how it would be handled) to handle airport security, especially the way they stepped on our 2nd Amendment in New Orleans. We American citizens still have some political clout with TSA but we would have nothing with a private gestapo.
A friend of mine recently told me that her neighbor told her a horrible story. He was passing through the inspection point and heard the TSA person radio to another TSA person that he “had a hot one coming up and would send her his way”. Well, the “hot” one was the man’s 17 year old daughter. He apparently asked for a supervisor and made a complaint. I know the woman who told me the story and she is credible (to be fair, I don’t know the neighbor). If this is true, then some TSA employees are definitely targeting attractive people for others or themselves. Just a thought.
