Can this story be verified? It’s outrageous. It has to be a hoax.

“It has to be a hoax.”
Surprising to hear the Cranky Geek John C Dvorak believing that government employees could possibly be guilty of misconduct and use excessive force. Especially after all the Police Brutality videos he has posted.
The people posting this with no video have no agenda?
I didn’t get one minute into this when I realized that the person on the phone was part of some sort of unsubstantiated event while the people posting this claiming to have no agenda clearly had an agenda.
Since I don’t know what happened this is leave er right. Leave er right where I found it until I come across something to confirm or deny it.
I found a few news articles but if this is legit then I want to see the police incident report since she claims she was escorted out.
This issue is not just a one person story. Websites on the sexual groping by government employees are popping up all over.
The magnitude of the problem can be seen here:

How many more weeks before the airlines start crying over the falling number of fliers?
If the TSA maintains their hands-on policy full body search and groping during the Thanksgiving rush and the Christmas holidays, the outrage will reach critical mass.
New U.S. guidelines put into effect two weeks ago no longer require air passengers to remove turbans if doing so makes them uncomfortable, the U.S. Transport Security Administration said.
So it is racial profiling to frisk a large garment that can conceal a deadly weapon.
But it is fine to sexually grope random travelers, especially the attractive ones.
Remember when Bobbo was posting comments about the “silly hoomans” who were protesting the naked body scanners imaging wives and daughters?
He seems to be strangely silent on this issue now.
Grandpa, some of us dont want to be rubbed down in the crotch! Shut it!
Well don’t that take the wanderlust out of your shorts.
But if you ain’t in a hurry, can rent cars and can kayak real well then maps.google.com can take you anywhere on this planet you want to go.
I have friends I will NEVER see again because of shit like this. (Until my life expectancy is less than the growth time of various cancers anyways.)
The only thing I feel good about is that the TSA goons will die faster (though they’ll save money on night lights.)
We should all start filming the TSA while in the line from now on.
Plane bad. Train good.
I really don’t care who gets to take a peak or grope my goods, and we are far, far too prudish and uptight as a society, but I can understand those who would object. If that’s your feeling, stay home. Once only those with a rational view of the human body are the only ones left traveling, the skies will again be safe.
Meh! If I misunderstand the TSA correctly, there’s an optional body scan that you don’t have to do. But, if you don’t do it, wee’re gonna squeeze yer nuts and tweak you tits.
Ain’t that kind of like extortion?
There needs to be an air travel system for us
who are not encumbered with paranoia.
I am sick and tired of being made to believe that someone is out there to bring me down,
but the TSA will save us. That is such bull puckey!
Too bad we can’t have two lines in airports. One line for Grandpa and similar mindless sheep, and another line for those of us who realize the pointless security only exists to make us feel better and would not have stopped even the terrorists on 9/11. Those that would give up a liberty to gain security will deserve neither and lose both.
One of these days, the TSA’s (transsexual ASSHOLES of Amerika) will pick the wrong person at the wrong time, and maybe that will be the shot heard ’round the world.
When ever I hear about this stuff I think of what Benjamin Franklin said “Those who would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.”
Maybe be when referring to the TSA, the word “deserve” should be replaced by “get”.
As much as I hate the TSA, here from their blog is the check point vid. This story was BS

For everyone that says if you don’t like it don’t fly – get real – I have to fly as part of my job. My employer requires it. And don’t be stupid and tell me to get a different job – I can’t in this economy and certainly not one that pays enough. I don’t want to be subjected to the body scanners for two reasons (1) the potential radiation – I’ve health problems I don’t need amplified, and (2) I’m extremely modest and it makes me very very uncomfortable. The aggressive pat down is not a great alternative but I can live with it if it is in a private room and done by a female attendant. I’m sick of being singled out because I wear baggy clothing because I’m modest and don’t like to show so much of my body. The TSA needs to be taught some sensitivity. I have to wonder though what happens if you opt out of the scanner and are an elderly person who is incontinent wearing diapers. Or, a woman on her period wearing a big sanitary napkin. Surely the new aggressive pat downs will find these and TSA will assume the person is “hiding” something in their underwear. What next – will we have to ask people to pull down their panties so we can see their dirty diapers or bloody sanitary napkins. Come on this is just too much invasion of privacy. Furhermore its NOT effective when the real exposure is on the cargo side. TSA is focusing on the wrong issue in the wrong way.
