You can already see where this one is going.
According to Dorn's Sept. 30 blog post, aTSA agent wanted to pat down her breast area after seeing something on the body scanner–Dorn said it's probably tissue expanders placed in her chest for reconstruction surgery down the road.
Although Dorn said she told theTSA agent she didn't want her breasts touched and offered to show them a card in her wallet describing the expanders, evidently that didn't do the trick. On her blog she writes: "This request was denied. Instead, she called over a female supervisor who told me the exam had to take place. I was again told that I could not retrieve the card and needed to submit to a physical exam in order to be cleared. She then said, 'And if we don't clear you, you don't fly' loud enough for other passengers to hear. And they did. And they stared at the bald woman being yelled at by aTSA Supervisor.
"To my further dismay, my belongings, including my computer, were completely out of sight. I had no choice but to allow an agent to touch my breasts in front of other passengers."
She goes on to say that considering she's been through "emotional and physical hell" in the past year due to her cancer, the way she was treated caused her great humiliation.
Dorn has been tweeting about the incident, and Monday theTSA responded to the situation on its TSABlog. "We do our best to treat passengers with the dignity and respect they deserve, but in Lori Dorn's case, it looks like we missed our mark."
God Bless Lori Dorn and may all TSA activities cease.
“AnotherTransportation Security Administration pat-down gone wrong ”
All TSA pat-downs, by definition, are wrong.
The TSA should not even exist. Ditto for Homeland Security.
