Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport.
Claire Hirschkind, 56, who says she is a rape victim and who has a pacemaker-type device implanted in her chest, says her constitutional rights were violated. She says she never broke any laws. But the Transportation Security Administration disagrees.

The TSA says less than three percent of travelers get a pat-down.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have double knee replacements. If I fly it **will** be an automatic pat down.
I won't be flying.

"I understand her side of it, and their side as well, but it is for our protection so I have no problems with it, BAAAA!!!" said Gwen Washington, who lives in Killeen.
"It's unfortunate that that happened and she didn't get to fly home, but it makes me feel a little safer, BAAAA!!!" said Emily Protine.
The sheep have spoken.

Not just TSA here. The airport police are the ones making the arrest. I wonder what the charges will be?

How much cheaper would a National ID be for many of us with proven histories plus prior TS Nuclear clearances and even SCI?

TSA groping is an unreasonable search and therefore, unconstitutional.

I hope she sues the crap out of the
tsa and the airport police...might make a good test case.

“I told them, ‘No, I’m not going to have my breasts felt,’ and she said, ‘Yes, you are,’” said Hirschkind.
When Hirschkind refused, she says that “the police actually pushed me to the floor, (and) handcuffed me. I was crying by then. They drug me 25 yards across the floor in front of the whole security...
....The TSA did release a statement Wednesday that said in part, “Our officers are trained to treat all passengers with dignity and respect.”
