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.

We drive, even if it takes two days.
Turned down many long distance trips.
That would be ALL politicians, I do believe.
Nobody voted for the gropin' gruppen directly. Nobody ran with a promise to grope. Nor will it be ended by voting.
Real question: how will President Donald Trump deal with the TSA?
Amen to that. I saw that with my own two eyes. That is what stopped my flying.
I have no intention of ever flying again. I’d rather drive. Sure, depending on how far, driving may or may not take longer. Anything less than 6 hours of driving and you’re ahead of the game already. Farther than 6 hours and at least you can see the country, go at your own pace and not be raped by TSA or sit next to some stinky fart with ebola praising allah.
How unseemly, having a FReeper bow down to sharia.
Wife and I drove from South Carolina to Ottawa for a wedding. Pleasant two days each way, no hurry, different route back (visited Arlington). No need to fly.
U.S. Customs searched our car after scanning our passports. IMO they found data which was used politically; both of us retired military, CCW, life NRA, Republican. Extra two hours.
...and the TSA has never stopped one incident. It was the passengers who intervened.
Correct!
Our family - all of whom were very frequent fliers - decided three years ago, after a pretty humiliating experience in Kansas City, that we would not fly any more until TSA was gone or changed their screening. Makes for some pretty long road trips but we have multiple drivers so drive straight through. Feel sorry for people that must fly on business and have no other choice but do not understand why families continue to subject their members to this insanity.
I did some Wiki work on this one. What a long title. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Yes never mind "Get Shorty"- it is get Rush. May the El Rushbo always escape the machinations of his enemies.
If some union flunky started groping my wife like they did to AVD-R I’d end up retired in club fed. We’re supposed to be customers, not cattle.
Thanks GW for this monstrosity. You sir were NO conservative. You NWO sellout.
Takes 12 hours to fly from LAX to Redding, Ca.
Plus you have to be at the airport a couple hours early, so call it 14 hours.
I can drive my truck, fully loaded(including my dogs) with all the materials, tools, and WEAPONS I choose to take with me in the same 12 hours.
That includes multiple 20 to 45 minute rest stops for me and my pups.
I save the two or three hours of TSA GROPESTOPPO stupidity about my shaving kit and bottled water.
The airlines and perverts can mistreat the other people with their crappy service and anal probes; even if it takes me 3 to 5 days to get where I want to go, at least when I get there I will still have ALL MY PROPERTY and my dignity.
Did he actually say that or is that what you are assuming/hoping he will do?
And you don’t have to hassle with a car rental when you get there or ride in an expensive stinky cab.
As far as TSA is concerned, IMO people in line are opportunities for government sanctioned version of pedophilia. If airlines really valued you as a customer they would institute their own security system and tell the government to get out of their business. I would suspect they just want to shuttle their ultimate responsibility off to the government though.
Not sure what it will take before people in the U.S. say ENOUGH.
“I’ll probably never fly again. I won’t submit to that treatment.”

You may want to reconsider getting on the road then
Protect yourself! Flatulence first!
Got it in one; plus side trips in a cab can be very expensive and most rental cars are crap.
