Diana Ross says a TSA agent at a New Orleans airport took a pat-down search too far -- which left her feeling shaken and violated afterward.
The legendary soul singer described her experience early Sunday morning in a string of tweets, explaining that while she's normally treated like royalty in NOLA ... she got the exact opposite treatment at an airport there -- saying, "I was treated like [expletive]."

Ms. Ross says she's not blaming the airline she flew with -- Delta, apparently -- but instead is pointing the finger at a female TSA agent that conducted an "over the top" pat-down as Diana was going through security. She says it's not what was done ... but how.

STOP@!!!! In the name of love.....
Wasn’t Diana the one who felt up a TSA agent about 15 years ago?
Oh, she felt up a rapper.
Lady, you were finally treated like everyone else is. Welcome to the world.
Drive.
Get on the Bus....
“Reach out and TOUCH somebody’s glands”
LOL, I must say though, I’ve always liked Diana. And I’m certainly no fan of the TSA.
They were only going by their training employing the Biden Method.
:D
was the TSA person white?
“You just keep me hangin’ on...’’
“Ms. Ross says she’s not blaming the airline she flew with — Delta...”
You should. Because they’re not doing a damn thing about it.
A buxom beauty and I met at a location midway from both of us. We both flew to get there. She got stopped and patted down at every change of planes by TSA. I had an equal number of flights and was never stopped.
The TSA claims to be not profiling, but that’s a lie. They’re going for the lookers and the young.
Maybe she has never heard of Diana Ross.
Was the agent wearing a burka?
That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Those nerds have been treating us common folks that way for years. She just finally got a taste of what we experience as a matter of course.
The airport chooses whether to use the TSA or some other group over which they may have more control.
Of course the Airline has some negotiating power with the A/P.
Didn’t Ms. Ross say “Do you know who I am!”?
Thanks to Osama bin Laden, and then George Bush, Americans are still, and will probably forever, be subjected to this.
The correct, most efficient, most effective and cheapest response would have simply been - an immediate travel ban into the USA from most Muslim countries. Bans on particular countries could have then slowly lifted as they provided security assurance and background checks on travellers as required by the US. The world would have followed us also.
No need then for Fed.gov to remove the freedoms of Americans and harass them constantly.
