Woman Takes Matters Into Own Hands, Gropes TSA Agent

Woman Takes Matters Into Own Hands, Gropes TSA Agent


The drama of TSA patdowns continues. A woman who used to be a TSA agent was in the airport on her way to her brother's funeral when she got what she felt was an intrusive security patdown, possibly from former coworkers. So she decided to turn the tables and demonstrate how such a patdown felt.

From the local ABC affiliate:

It happened on her way to Cleveland, Ohio. Airline passenger Carol Price says while going through security to catch her flight, a TSA agent groped her.

In response, the video shows Price put down her carry-on bags, turn to a TSA supervisor and grab her - allegedly without permission - to show the supervisor what Price says she went through.

"She did not touch the supervisor as intrusively as she was touched," Mills said.

Price says the TSA agent wasn't following protocol - and she should know.

Price is a former TSA agent who worked at the airport until a few years ago. She got along with some, but not all of her co-workers, and says her pat down was personal.
