Doesn’t excuse the TSA. Just answers the question.
A lot of sundresses have them(bras) built in so the person doesn't have to have additional bra straps showing. So it doesn't mean she wasn't properly attired.
I wouldn’t have said she wasn’t properly attired either. There’s no law that says you have to wear a bra.
My point was that pulling a dress of the shoulder of a girl while doing a search is a different form of action than removing a girl’s bra in public.
If the girl specifically asked NOT to be taken into a private room (the article specifically noted that many people don’t want to go into private because they are scared of the TSA), then you can’t fault the TSA for not taking her into a private room.
My problem therefore is that I oppose the TSA searches, and think we go way overboard on airline protection, but I don’t see this particular action, as described in the article, as being worse than many others I have read about.
It just happens to be one in which an unfortunate accident occured. That makes it useful for those who disapprove of the TSA, but I don’t see any indication that the TSA groper purposely did this, or intended such exposure.
If they did, they certainly deserve whatever punishment they can be given. And I’m not defending them, I have no idea what they were trying to do, I just noted that there was a misperception I had because of the story, and reading the whole story cleared up that misperception (that they had removed her underwear in public).
