Colorado's six-time Olympic gold medal winning swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen says agents with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) humiliated her.

She took to social media Sunday to detail her experience getting through security at Denver International Airport.

She said agents made her go through a full body search even though she has Pre check.

"They go around your breasts, they basically go under your butt and the just grab things, not grab, they touch things that are not appropriate and it's really embarrassing," said Van Dyken-Rouen.

Van Dyken-Rouen said as much as she and husband Tom travel all over the country, she’s never been screened like this or treated like this.

Van Dyken-Rouen took to Instagram shortly after getting through security to detail her experience and call out the agent who she said was rude to her.

This is how the government humiliates all of their citizens. The US Government is becoming more fascist each and every day

[Carl Vehse]

Body cavity searches (aka gang-raping) by TSA agents (with or without strap-ons) will be coming next. Get use to it. You voted for the politicians who continue to allow this while exempting themselves.

Meanwhile, they miss 75% of the simulated terrorists in testing.

TSA is essentially "security theater" in its current format.

[mad_as_he$$]

E’s fault.

Flame away.

[Twinkie]

I doubt those agents knew WHO Mrs. Hyphenated Moniker was
& maybe just culled her out for special attention. IF
women don’t want to be groped; they need to dress
modestly & cover their “assets”. (Not to say I know
for sure how she was dressed; just that many girls &
women want to flaunt it by dressing “sexy” & expect to
not be “bothered”.)

Yes. And they are the most invasive toward white people, especially the elderly. And this has been going on since the TSA was created.....shortly after 9/11.....by the GWB Admin.

Real question: how will President Donald Trump deal with the TSA?

[originalbuckeye]

Amy Van Dyken-Rouen is a former Olympian, who was paralyzed in an ATV accident. I hope those in power hear her complaints.....they might have more impact as she is a former Olympian, now in a wheelchair.

[cymbeline]

I sorta don’t want a plane I’m on to blow up.

[Harpotoo]

T(ouching)S(exual)A(reas)!

[MileHi]

I’ll probably never fly again. I won’t submit to that treatment.

[Panzerfaust]

You might want to walk that last comment back. While she is a six-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer, she is now a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair. Turns out she was crippled in an ATV accident. So please let us know if being confined to a wheelchair is “modest” enough. Maybe she should wear a burqa, the ultimate in religious modesty?

[Political Junkie Too]

So what's the point in registering and paying for TSA Pre-Check if they are just going to ignore it at the airport?

Anytime you feel you have been abused by TSA, report them immediately to shift supervisor AFTER you pass thru screening.
I’ve done it three times.

You should see the nasty looks you get from the goofball who just got done playing games with your head.
I nearly got one fired who thought he’d give “whitey” some special treatment.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Yep, Amy looks like real trouble (sarcasm)

[wardaddy]

Indeed..

Whores of Babylon everywhere....what can we do?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Dear Amy, its not about security its about subjugation.
