Alleged TSA "Strip" search of Charlie Sheen's ex-wife at LAX
Surprised I didn't see anyone have this here as it's made the Flyertalk front page banner this morning.

TSA says they don't conduct "Strip" searches or force people to remove their clothes according to the Page 6 article. Brooke Mueller says she was aggressively searched for an hour calling it, "borderline abusive" which then led to a missed flight to Miami on AA.

"TSA is focused on threats to aircraft security, and does not look for drugs."
If this story does not imply evidence to the contrary, I don't know what does...

Yep -- They spend an awful lot of time and effort denying that they search for drugs. The spokeshole felt compelled to comment on that statement in the media. You would think that they would have just ignored it.
