Complete Headline: The moment a mom, 42, with breast cancer was 'violated' and reduced to tears by TSA agents who patted down her medical port and 'tried to perform a body cavity search in public'

Denise Albert, a morning show contributor and co-host of The Moms, a SiriusXM radio show, was traveling through Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday when the 'humiliating' experience left her in tears.

Albert detailed the experience of removing her wig, exposing the sores on her feet, and telling the TSA agents she had a medical port in her chest that she didn't want them to touch - a warning that was not heeded.

Albert said she notified TSA about her medical port and removed the cream from her bag, as she has done numerous times before without an issue.

The security agents then pulled her aside, and said she would have to take off her shoes and undergo a full body pat-down 'with pressure' if she wanted to take the medical cream with her, Albert wrote.

The agents flouted the TSA pre-check protocol by asking her to take off her shoes, leaving her bare feet freezing for 20 minutes due to her medical treatment, she claimed.

Albert asked to sit down, since her chemotherapy has left her feet covered in sores, which she did not want touching the ground.

They later offered to conduct the search in the privacy of a room, but Albert said she couldn't walk there because they wouldn't return her boots.

The radio host said the agents then told her they would 'apply pressure from head to toe', and she decided to take her wig off, saying: 'I didn't want them to touch it, move it, or ruin it'.

I'm trying to get to Yuma from Victoria BC to aid my mother, who had just had my dad die literally IN HER ARMS. No problem for the flight to Seattle, no problems with US Customs and Border Patrol (the agent gave me a 6 month no-questions-asked VISA, FCOL) but then there was the TSA humanoid.

Several inane questions, much innuendo and accusation, then Quaneeshia just shrugs her shoulders and walks away without another word. No "get stuffed", "come over here", "we need to speak further with you", nothing! She leaves my bag open, half my clothing spread out on the conveyor belt, doesn't tell me I can proceed, just leaves.

I'm standing there gobsmacked with at least 40 people behind me, and the hijab-wearing moon-worshipper behind me tries to push my bag and me through!

I am not exactly a fan of air travel to, from or in the USA anymore either, for some reason.

I refuse to darken the door of an airport. Damned if I will willing submit myself to the gestapo and forgo my Rights. If I can’t drive and take my gun I am not going. I hope the airlines go broke because they are tolerating this fascist crap. The terrorist have already won.

“I refuse to darken the door of an airport. Damned if I will willing submit myself to the gestapo and forgo my Rights.”

I don’t fly often — maybe once every 18 months. There’s a point when going through Security when you are completely vulnerable. You are walking through the scanner and on the conveyor belt is your purse with ID, cell phone, credit cards, money, etc. What you have with you is your boarding pass; that’s it. Freaks me out. Must be some type of claustrophobia.

[who knows what evil?]

Most of these TSA agents have a chip on the shoulder the size of Texas, and when they get a chance to put it to white people; they are going to take it. They know the government will stand behind them. I hope President Trump puts an end to this PC nonsense.
