A short quote:
"It was a customer complaint of an extremely inappropriate search," John D. Mills, Price's attorney, tells ABC7, who reports that Price got along with some, but not all, of her former coworkers at the airport.
Price was bound for Cleveland to attend her brother's funeral, but was removed from the flight and taken to jail.
In a statement to ABC7, a TSA spokesperson wrote, "The patdown was conducted correctly in accordance with our procedures. Violence against our officers who work every day to keep the traveling public safe is unacceptable."
and here is an article that quotes the attorney as saying that the patdown that passenger received was "personal", apparently retribution from her time as a TSA employee:

"It was a customer complaint of an extremely inappropriate search," said Price's defense attorney John Mills.
Mills says another TSA agent first groped Price's genitals and breasts.
"She did not touch the supervisor as intrusively as she was touched," Mills said.
Price says the TSA agent wasn't following protocol - and she should know.
Price is a former TSA agent who worked at the airport until a few years ago. She got along with some, but not all of her co-workers, and says her pat down was personal.
"She's obviously been through training and knew this lady," Mills said.
