TSA groping: passenger fights back

Posted 19/07/2011

Authorities say a Colorado woman who allegedly groped a female Transportation Security Administration agent at the Phoenix' airport is facing a felony count of sexual abuse. But some bloggers are saying it’s fitting.
 

Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae is accused of grabbing the left breast of the unidentified TSA agent at an airport checkpoint.
 

TSA spokesperson Kawika Riley confirmed the altercation to msnbc.com in a statement:

"On July 14 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, local law enforcement arrested a passenger for assaulting a TSA officer during the screening process."

TSA staff say Mihamae refused to be go through passenger screening and became argumentative before she squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands.

Police were called and say Mihamae admitted grabbing the TSA agent and continued to argue “She was wrong to be so aggressive but isn't it curious how it's groping when it's a passenger but somehow legal when it's the government?” wrote one blogger, adding:

“This system has to go.”
