Woman wins payout from TSA after her breasts were exposed in airport patdown
Woman wins payout from TSA after her breasts were exposed in airport patdown

A woman who sued the Transportation Security Administration for exposing her breasts during a patdown at a Texas airport has won a 'nominal' payment.

-----------------------

Ms Murley will receive the nominal sum from the government as part of a legal settlement, according to The Smoking Gun.

Her lawyer Jerry McLaughlin refused to divulge exactly how much his client is receiving but said it was a small amount.

--------------
A TSA agent is alleged to have frisked Ms Murley and 'pulled Plaintiff's blouse completely down, exposing Plaintiff's breasts to everyone in the area'.
Too far: The Transport Security Administration have come under heavy criticism for their invasive security searches

The TSA are accused to have 'joked and laughed about the incident for an extended period of time'.

After Ms Murley left the security line to be 'consoled by an acquintance who had brought her to the airport', she returned to the line only to be told by a male TSA woprker that he wished he had been there when she passed through the first time.

According to Ms Murley, the officer added that 'he would just have to watch the video'.

1. "Wins" is a bit of a misnomer here
It's not like she was a reality TV contestant or a marathoner.
