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.

Did they at least throw her any beads....?
Full employment for perverts is going to prevent terrorism.
lol
These kind of outrages are going to bring the body searches to an end.

The frog is green. Repeat, the frog is green.
May of 2008? Why wait until now to file a suit?
Something doesn’t sound right.
Good one, thanks.
These are the kind of outrages that make citizens think they need to go to war against their overlords.
Is there an American news source to corroborate this? This story sounds far-fetched.
The American Public is not going to put up with this for much longer and this policy is going to have to be changed. This is exactly the kind of disruption that terrorists want to cause in the first place. You could not make the traveling public more upset than this short of an actual terrorist attack.
And all of this is going on while a tiny fraction of the air cargo that’s loaded on the same airliners is inspected. Look back at the recent near miss with the packages sent from Yemen.
The problem here is very simple. TSA is performing these invasive and un-Constitutional personal searches on American Citizens because the current Regime does not have the guts to do what would solve the problem: PROFILE MUSLIMS!!
This whole disgusting display is being caused by political correctness, and nothing more.
Two words.....quit flying. Hurt the airline industry till they demand changes.
You gotta kinda assume she was going braless at the time.
"Girls gone TSA"
Any photoshoppers here?

For some men, particularly bullies, any breasts will provoke the most immature response. No woman should be subjected to this kind of uncivilized, moronic behaviour.
Our Government has declared War on its citizens and can any and all things it desires without any checks whatsoever.
The mere suggestion by a citizen that they had better not touch his junk incurs legal action with an intent to confiscation of their property.
This is out of control.
It’s insane.
Worth repeating. My guess would be that the recent publicity made the timing right.
No, it's not. They want us to stop influencing middle east affairs (mostly they want us to stop helping Israel).
