A woman who had her breasts exposed during an airport search by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was to receive a “nominal” payment as a part of a settlement agreement, according to documents released this week.
The 24-year-old woman was selected for “extended search procedures” prior to boarding a plane to Amarillo, Texas in 2008.
A lawsuit claimed that the TSA agent pulled her blouse completely down while frisking her.
Raw Story decided against republishing the woman’s name and photograph due to the nature of her ordeal.
“As would be expected, plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and humiliated,” the lawsuit alleged.
“For an extended period of time” other agents made jokes about the incident. “One male TSA employee expressed to the plaintiff that he wished he would have been there when she came through the first time and that ‘he would just have to watch the video.’”
