PHOENIX - We hear a lot of complaints about security screeners groping airline passengers.
But now, a Colorado woman is accused of putting her hands on a TSA agent at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
Court records show 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae grabbed the left breast of the female agent Thursday at the Terminal 4 checkpoint.
Police say she squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands.
Officers say Mihamae admitted to the crime.
There's no word why she touched the agent.
Mihamae now faces a felony count of abuse.
According to court records, she lives in Longmont, Colorado and is self-employed.
What if they decide you’re their type and take you off for a more ‘personal’ search?

I posted this on another thread, but this is how my mother handled it when TSA wanted to take her to another area to search her.
My mother was harassed going through airport security a few years ago. Her abdominal staples (or something) set off the metal detector.
The agent told her ‘we need to check you out’ or something and offered to take her to another room.
She said, rather loudly, “No, that’s ok, I’m a nudist” and started to remove her top right there.
They stopped her from stripping and let her go board the plane.
Turnabout to Gunrunner would take federal money to arm citizens and put DOJ in jail for it.
This is an act of Civil Disobedience. And she will use a constitutional defence,that her rights to be secure in her person against unreasonable search and seizure were about to be violated.
We will be hearing a lot more about this woman.
Atta Go Mihamae-san!
Oops, I left the quotes off my search, which makes a big difference. With quotes it’s now at 415 returns.

[ Nixon gave us EPA,Reagan the WOD,Bush the TSA.
And some people imagine the Republican party is pro-Constitution.Republicans simply attack different freedoms than do Democrats.
Career politicians are all dangerous. ]
Nixon started the war on drugs and the EPA.
“In 1971. Two congressmen release an explosive report on the growing heroin epidemic among U.S. servicemen in Vietnam, ten to fifteen percent of the servicemen were addicted to heroin, and the Nixon administration coins the term War on Drugs.”
What is interesting is that the wiki article about Groping has a special section for japan:

Maybe tit-for-tat is how it is dealt with in her country of origin and what she learned there was brought back via action when she was groped years later in the USA?
Excellent

Wow. I hadn’t heard about this and was even MORE shocked when I saw the victim was Gen. Joe Foss from South Dakota. He was a close friend to my Grandfather (South Dakota is a small state) since before the war and also when he was Governor.
When we go back to South Dakota, we fly out of “Joe Foss Field” airport in Sioux Falls. He was a great man.
