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.

It’s not a false positive “sweetheart”. It’s positively identifying you still have a thingy.

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?”.

Humans have a sex, male of female.

Languages have genders.

I love it when insanity collides with fascism. Insanity = transgender nonsense. Fascism = TSA, started after 9/11 NOT to stop jihadis, but to harass Americans.

Replace trans with fake, and it all makes sense.

Bet you a quarter that this kid’s father was run of his life a long time ago. Nothing bad enough ever happens to these sociopath mothers.

Reminds me of the Dave Bartholomew song, “My Ding-a-Ling.” It was made famous by Chuck Berry.
