Conservative Radio Host: TSA Groped My Vagina
“I am subjected to this almost every time I fly”Paul Joseph Watson

Conservative radio host and Breitbart Editor Dana Loesch had her vagina groped during an advanced screening by the TSA at Phoenix Airport, with Loesch complaining that she is targeted for such treatment almost every time she flies.
The incident, which occurred yesterday, took place in
terminal four of the airport after Loesch was told that a swab of her
hands had detected potential explosive material.
She was then led against her will into a private room as
her husband filmed the encounter. The TSA screeners closed the door on
her husband and began the grope down.
“They performed the regular pat-down and then the agent
informed me that she would be using the front of her hands to “sweep” my
groin. She pressed and swept across my crotch three times horizontally
and three times vertically. In any other circumstance this would be
sexual assault,” writes Loesch.
“The agents themselves were friendly and smiled, yet I was still
denied a public screening and no witness of my own present for the
screening itself (a second agent was in the room at the time). I had no
reason to be angry with the agents themselves, yet I was angry, and
still am, at the regulations which require them to routinely violate
men, women, and children in the name of a false sense of security.”In the video, Loesch complains to the screeners that she is “subjected to this almost every time I fly.” In her You Tube blurb, Loesch links to a previous incident in Providence, Rhode Island, where her husband was molested and had his genitals groped after TSA workers claimed he was covered in “nitrates.”
“After concluding that I wasn’t a terrorist hiding weapons in my vagina, the TSA agents allowed me to go,” concludes Loesch.
Groping travelers’ genitals has now become a routine part of TSA screening procedures.
Hundreds of complaint letters about
the TSA’s invasive security procedures which were released last month
under the Freedom of Information Act include numerous horror stories
about TSA screeners directly touching people’s genitals during pat
downs. There have also been numerous cases of public figures having
their “junk” touched.
Could Loesch be a routine target of TSA harassment due to her public criticism of the agency?
As we have documented,
people who opt out of body scanners or those who simply fail to display
the proper level of obedience to TSA screeners are routinely subjected
to punishment by means of invasive grope downs or other forms of
retaliation.
Journalists who are critical of the TSA have also been singled out for retribution.
CNN reporter Drew Griffin was also put on a TSA watch list immediately after he filed reports critical of the organization back in 2008.
Shortly after he began a series of investigative reports
that were critical of the TSA in May 2008, Griffin was placed on a
watch list that at the time had swelled to over a million names. The TSA
claimed that he was unfortunate enough to share the name with another
Drew Griffin who had been legitimately placed on the list, but then
denied that he was on the list altogether and blamed the airlines. The
airlines responded by saying they were merely following a list provided
to them by the TSA.
“Coincidentally, this all began in May, shortly after I began a
series of investigative reports critical of the TSA,” said Griffin.
“Eleven flights now since May 19. On different airlines, my name pops up
forcing me to go to the counter, show my identification, sometimes the
agent has to make a call before I get my ticket,” Griffin reported.
“What does the TSA say? Nothing, at least nothing on camera. Over the
phone a public affairs worker told me again I’m not on the watch list,
and don’t even think that someone in the TSA or anyone else is trying to
get even.”
The TSA has characterized people who do not fully comply with airport screening procedures, no matter how bizarre or invasive, as “domestic extremists.”
Loesch also points out that conservatives and returning veterans have both been labeled as potential domestic terrorists by the Department of Homeland Security.
