TSA Groper Files Suit Against Blogger

Posted by samzenpus on from the watch-what-you-say dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TSA employee Theldala Magee has filed a lawsuit against a blogger demanding $500k in damages for alleging a particularly invasive search involving multiple incursions of a finger into the passenger's vagina. The passenger, who likened the feeling to being raped, is being sued for defamation for supposedly sullying the otherwise good name of a checkpoint smurf."

    If Theldala Magee didn't want to be known as a rapist, she shouldn't have raped that woman.

    So suing the TSA over this is a "non-starter" and even writing about it gets you sued by the molesting thugs... Why do the people in the USA put up with something like this? I thought you were scared witless by terrorists, not authorities, but I guess I was wrong.

      Terrorist, authorities, what's the difference in the end?

      I've actually seen authorities.

      Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?

    Probably because enough of us have been patted down by the TSA to know it's all-too-plausible.

    Mod parent up.

    I'm sure she is hiding behind the "doing what they told me to do" defense, which is no defense at all.

    Before the TSA, sexual predators could only dream of an occupation where they got to fondle people without repercussion. Thanks to our security theater, they get paid to do it!

    It's not just that you don't get your money back, once you enter the checkpoint, you have continue all the way through or get hit with a massive fine. Totally not consensual...
