Alaska Airlines Inc., the ninth-largest U.S. airline, was sued by a flight attendant who claimed her stress disorder makes it impossible for her to go through airport security checkpoints.
Cheryl Gunderson said she was groped and fondled in a sexual manner while going through a checkpoint in 2003 and can't go through them anymore without suffering debilitating stress, according to a complaint filed Sept. 15 in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
"The plaintiff is unable to even enter into close proximity to the screening area of an airport without becoming symptomatic of her post-traumatic stress disorder," her lawyer, Robert Van Siclen of Seattle, said in the lawsuit.
...
In her suit, she asked the court to force the carrier to help her get a special pass to walk through checkpoints without being physically searched. She also seeks back pay from April 2003, attorney's fees and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

You've obviously never been groped and you are obviously not a woman. I'm not saying this is something legit but women are vulnerable to stuff like this. If someone did that to me, he'd be minus a limb or worse.

Sounds to me then, like its time for her to find a new career instead of expecting special treatment.
To: SW6906
So she should get the dough from the moron that groped her, not the airline, and not the TSA.

Well, I don't know anything about this case so I refuse to comment other than my generic comment about women being vulnerable.
