TSA Creeps Force Cancer Survivor to Expose Prosthetic Breast

 

WBTV-3 in Charlotte, N.C., is reporting that a flight attendant who is also a breast cancer survivor was forced by TSA creeps last August to expose her prosthetic breast during one of their so-called pat-downs:

[Cathy Bossi] says two female Charlotte T.S.A. agents took her to a private room and began what she calls an aggressive pat down.  She says they stopped when they got around to feeling her right breast… the one where she’d had surgery.

“She put her full hand on my breast and said, ‘What is this?’.  And I said, ‘It’s my prosthesis because I’ve had breast cancer.’ And she said, ‘Well, you’ll need to show me that’.”

Cathy was asked to show her prosthetic breast, removing it from her bra.

“I did not take the name of the person at the time because it was just so horrific of an experience, I couldn’t believe someone had done that to me.  I’m a flight attendant.  I was just trying to get to work …”

A TSA representative told WBTV that “agents aren’t supposed to remove any prostetics, but are allowed to ask to see and touch any passenger’s prosthetic.”
