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.

Welcome to the world us commoners live in every day, Ms. Ross.
Maybe you care and maybe you don’t, but I can refer you to quite a few horror stories at the airport far, far more egregious than yours.
I don’t recall you expressing outrage while we were getting sexually assaulted and free prostrate exams at the airports, so you’ll forgive me if I lack sympathy.
Why did she need a pat down? Did she refuse screening?
Its ok Diana, feminists scream at us breasts aren’t sexual, so they can go around topless.
Royalty treated like the rest of us peasants must be quite a shock.
A well know supporter of Democrats doesn’t like Big Brother? Maybe she was just shocked that she didn’t get the VIP wave through treatment.
Seems to me Diana pretty much keeps her political opinions to herself. She is probably a Liberal, but I don’t know of any instance where she’s said anything bad.
I have worked with Ross in the past. I was told before I met her I was not allowed to talk to her. All communications had to go through her British security people. I got my job done but it was a little awkward. I grew up lovin the Motown sound but this rule I felt she went full Diva. And it felt unAmerican. She was nice enough and the evening of her performance and it went great. I’m of mixed emotions about her airport situation and maybe robots are the answer eventually.
Agree with that.
TSA is seemingly full of little Hitlers. I had a bad experience with them myself.
I believe Diana and sympathize with her.
... or maybe just someone trying
to wipe a booger of their finger.
She just needs to convert to Mohammadanism and the Touch Sexual Area Agents will never bother with her at the airport again.
A supreme indignity...
She was beautiful back in the day, and you could do a lot worse at 75.
But the wig?!?!?!
Certainly not a Love Supreme.
If she can wear that and still be beautiful,
that’s all to the good.
Paraphrasing Flip Wilson ...
“How do you like my hair, honey?
You don’t think it makes me look
too Farrah Fawcett, do you?”
Diana Ross is the diva-iest of divas. I worked one of her shows about 20 years ago, and she demanded curtained walkways from the bus to her dressing room and from their to the stage. She could not be seen by the commoners.
On the pragmatic side, small breasted women don’t have the room to hide much contraband, whereas the large breasted gals could hide a lot of explosives in a big bra. Just saying.
Haha. Welcome to what us serfs have to experience every day. LOL
Sad, now she knows how many thousands of white women feel after the affirmative action hires get through with them.
