One would think that the TSA would do what they do best -- ignore her complaint and let the whole thing blow over.
That's a mystery to me, too.
And here's rather odd quote from a TSA official in an Associated Press story: "The allegation here that we were out of control is absolutely false," said Earl Morris, deputy assistant administrator for security operations with the TSA. "If you look at the report and the video itself, it shows she's the only one who was out of control."
Damage control is one thing. One can draw their own conclusions from the video. But that kind of comment on his part just sounds a bit over the top.
