Mother sues TSA over request to strip search her transgender teen

(CNN)A North Carolina mother is suing the Transportation Security Administration and an agency supervisor for a May 2019 incident involving her transgender teenager who was asked to undergo a strip search at an airport.

According to a complaint filed Monday, Kimberly Erway and her 15-year-old daughter, Jamii Erway, were flying out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport in May 2019. When Jamii went through the TSA body scanner, it indicated a "false positive," according to the complaint.

TSA's transgender passenger webpage states "the TSA officer presses a button designating a gender (male/female) based on how you present yourself" when entering the scanner.

"This lets the body scanner know what to expect," said the complaint.

The TSA webpage says "the machine has software that looks at the anatomy of men and women differently. The equipment conducts a scan and indicates areas on the body warranting further inspection if necessary."

According to the lawsuit, "Jamii frequently has to deal with false positives when she flies" and the agency "receives complaints from transgender individuals regarding" the issue regularly.

Did the mother inform TSA her daughter has a penis?

On the list of things that I care about, the problems of a transgender teen and its mom rank around 15,798,854,437,001. I think it’s right after “Did Joe get his butt wiped today?”.

It has.

No one told the machine that scans, to follow the "new" science.

TSA says men and women have different anatomy? Progress! And the woman has a son, period.

“The TSA webpage says “the machine has software that looks at the anatomy of men and women differently.”

Transphobic machines. And racist too.

Male TSA Agent: "Step over here sir so I can probe you for contraband."

Male Traveler: "This seems sexual, is this sexual?"

Male TSA Agent: "I can assure you this is not. It's professional."

Male Traveler (pointing to female TSA Agent): "Well then, let her do it."

## PRINT OUT FROM MACHINE: “This freak is male”

LOL. He has a ‘package’ still anyway. The machine is too stupid to be fooled by this cretin’s mental illness.

I can’t pick a side to support here.

Can mother, “daughter” and TSA agents all be dropped off

Bet you a quarter that this kid’s father was run of his life a long time ago.

Probably didn't even stay the night. Maybe there wasn't even a bed.

If the guy claims to be a girl, and a ‘pistol’ is noted under ‘her’ clothes, then yes, it requires a full-body search.
