People, this is no joke. That TSA agent committed a serious felony offense.
I will be in contact with the young woman's senator who is a noted civil rights advocate, Carl Levin. I encourage each and every one on this board to write a letter. Paper in envelope with stamps. Handwritten will do, maybe better to each of their federal representatives. Us Michigan Alumni need to stick together!

Has as much chance of happening as the proverbial snowball surviving intact in hell...

Not just emotional distress, either. It's not hard to imagine that, for some people, the panic caused by an incident like this could bring on a heart attack. What if the passenger suddenly clutched at their chest and collapsed? Pretty fun then, huh?

Is he getting terminations from his job or TSA will get his disciplinary actions for what he did to her. This is not appropriate to touching her personal items. He is not allowed to do that at all. Never! He could be get serious trouble from TSA.

I stay with my gear until the last vestiges of the tray with my coat/shoes is no longer visible through the hanging rubber strips of the X-Ray. Both of my carry-ons are placed on the belt before those two items, just to make sure I know if they get backed out prior to walking through the WTMD. I routinely piss off the TSO personnel at BWI C C/P with this, and could care less as to their reactions.
