'Justice': Lynsie Murley, 24, has been awarded a 'nominal' sum by the TSA after her breasts were exposed during a patdown at a Texas airport
A woman who sued the Transportation Security Administration for exposing her breasts during a patdown at a Texas airport has won a 'nominal' payment.
Lynsie Murley, 24, filed a lawsuit against the TSA last year for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
She claimed that the May 2008 incident at Corpus Christi airport left her 'extremely embarrassed and humiliated'.
Ms Murley will receive the nominal sum from the government as part of a legal settlement, according to The Smoking Gun.
Her lawyer Jerry McLaughlin refused to divulge exactly how much his client is receiving but said it was a small amount.
Mr McLaughlin reportedly laughed loudly when asked if the negotiated payment was around six figures.
He said that the amount was, 'Way less than that. It wasn't a whole lot of money'.
Ms Murley 'was never interested in the money', Mr McLaughlin said, adding that she 'would not have filed a lawsuit if TSA officials had simply sent her a letter of apology'.
