One of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s daughters said she experienced an “absurdly invasive” pat-down Thursday at an airport security checkpoint and suggested her father would limit or eliminate the Transportation Security Administration if it was under his authority.
Evita Duffy-Alfonso said on the social platform X that she nearly missed her flight after opting out of a body scan because she said she is pregnant and concerned about radiation exposure. She said she waited 15 minutes for a pat-down and that TSA agents were “rude” and “tried to pressure” her into walking through the scanner.
It should be considered unconstitutional. It should be considered a violation of the 4th amendment. It should be illegal.
Conversely, if we can’t get rid of those cancer boxes, I’ll take a pat down every time. Bit of a grope and fondle is nothing for the generational stubbornness here.
If the TSA and the DEA could get the anti-bureaucracy axe it would be nice. As a little treat for all of us.
