Not that it matters one iota to the credibility of her story, but flight 0024 was operated by WN on 5/29/2008 on aircraft N769SW departing CRP @ 1145 for HOU, then DAL, eventually arriving AMA @ 1526. (source bts.gov) But IMO it is not a significant inaccuracy in the story if she was flying one of other numerous non-"direct" flight combinations that day.

I do wonder if she has pursued sexual assault charges against the screener(s) involved, or if she has not, why. Branding a TSO a sex offender and forcing them to register and live under those restrictions for the rest of their life might be more satisfying than a $ settlement, though she is well within her rights to pursue both. That would be a real deterrent to this sort of behavior by TSOs. If she has another witness, it would seem a good case. Maybe the cops or DA were pressured by TSA to drop the issue.
