"Baywatch" Actress and Playmate Felt "Singled Out" for Scan
Donna D'Errico, who spent three seasons as a member of the cast of
Baywatch and was
Playboy's Sept. 1995 Playmate of the Month, says LAX security personnel singled her out for an AIT scan because of her looks.
"I immediately asked why we were having to go through an extra search, and no one else was being made to do so, indicating the long line of other passengers in front of and behind where we had been in line. In a very sarcastic tone, and still holding me by the elbow, the agent responded, 'Because you caught my eye, and they' -- pointing to the other passengers -- 'didn't.'"
D'Errico, who was flying to Pittsburgh with her son to visit a seriously ill relative, also said,
"They never told me that they were going to be conducting a full-body scan, or that I had the option of being searched instead. Had they explained what they were doing, I would have opted for the search."
