A WOMAN is suing over an incident where airport staff allegedly pulled down her top and joked about her breasts in public view.

The 23-year-old traveller, from Amarillo, US, is suing the US Government for the emotional distressed she says the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents caused.

The woman says she was singled out for "extended search procedures" while preparing to board a plane to Amarillo in May 2008.

“As the TSA agent was frisking plaintiff, the agent pulled the plaintiff’s blouse completely down, exposing plaintiffs’ breasts to everyone in the area,” the lawsuit said.

“As would be expected, plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and humiliated.”

The lawsuit claims that other employees laughed and made jokes about the incident "for an extended period of time".

The distraught woman left the screening area to be consoled but when she re-entered the boarding area employees allegedly started joking about the matter.

It wouldn’t be funny if it was your wife or daughter.

No, the only funny boobs are those who accept at face value a story from one of Rupert's Aussie tabloids about a two year old incident involving a US citizen going to Amarillo, without mention of where it happened, who it happened to, names of the lawyers and where the suit was filed.

Would you be skeptical of this story if one of the agents accused by this fish wrap was your son?

That would reflect negatively on his upbringing and therefore upon you. On the other hand I am blameless for the condition of my wife's boobs.

Suing a gov’t agency is a long process. The plaintiff must first file an administrative claim, then wait for the bureaucracy to move at a glacial pace.

The lawsuit can only be filed after the claim has been denied.

I’m a guy and I don’t find it the slightest bit funny.

I think it’s outrageous.

Had it been my Wife or Daughter in my presence, the perps from TSA (Total Sexual Assault) would be worried about more than a law suit.

I think it goes like this....

Some high school kids were in the mountains of occupied Colorado during World War III.

“....welcome to Radio Free America. We have the news until dawn. We have some messages for our brothers and sisters in the occupied zones. The chair is against the wall....the chair is against the wall. John has a long moustache....John has a long moustache....thank-you for listening to Radio Free America, another day closer to victory.” Or something like that.

....”RED DAWN,” 1984

If we abandoned Israel tomorrow, the terrorists would still be coming after us because they want to destroy America as much or even more than they want to destroy Israel.

Al-Queda calls Israel “Little Satan.” America is called “Big Satan.”

Meanwhile, our southern border is wide open to anyone and everyone....no groping or nudie x-rays there!

Can you just imagine the flood of applications from the GiBLeT (GLBT) people and pedophiles.
