TSA Groping Sends Tramatized Rape Victim To Psychiatric Ward

When a TSA agent found an "anomaly" in a woman's bra, instead of sending her through the metal detector, the TSA insisted on an intrusive and invasive pat-down (otherwise known as a government-sanctioned groping session) behind closed doors. However, according to the unidentified woman's husband, there was a complication. The woman had been the victim of a brutal rape years earlier and the trauma of the incident sent her into "a fit of shakes and sweats" that culminated in her admission to a psychiatric ward.

According to Rt.com, the woman "was able to make it to the plane after taking several pills but, once the flight landed, she asked to go to the ER after she began vomiting."

The husband added: “Is this worth it? Had she been permitted to go through the metal detector, she would have been fine. But the language of the TSOs and lack of sympathy towards anyone with mental health issues is repulsive. Every mental health professional we've talked to despises what the TSA is doing.” You can read the rest of the story at rt.com.
