Post More bad press/video for TSA from the UK: 'She molested me... somebody help me!'

Drudge has linked to the piece in the U.K. Daily Mail:

'She molested me... somebody help me!': Woman passenger cries for help at airport security after 'invasive' search by female TSA agent

Footage show a woman screaming frantically for help in an airport terminal after claiming she was 'molested' by officials during a security pat down.

The unidentified passenger yells hysterically that she has been molested after a female security staff member touched her breast during the screening process at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

Video filmed by her son shows the woman bursting into tears after the alleged 'sexual assault', while other staff members tell her son to stop filming the distressing episode...

Yes, this is old news. However, it does reflect current practice of TSA. As suc
h, we should be as outraged as if it just happened since its very likely to recur again. It's not as if TSA has acknowledged their mistakes and has taken remediative steps...

Thanks to Daily Mail for surfacing this story.

That's not interesting: that's their SOP. Lie and intimidate.

What I thought interesting was the Southwest employees trying to shut down the filming, although they backed off soon after he said "public area" (as opposed to the young whippersnapper TSA screener who had to be dragged away).
