Yukari Miyamae Gropes TSA Agent At Phoenix Airport (VIDEO)
Well, this is interesting. Yukari Miyamae, a 61-year-old Colorado woman, faces felony charges for groping a TSA agent.
Miyamae was in Phoenix's Sky Airport on Thursday en route home to Colorado when the incident occurred, KWGN reports.
According to the arrest report, Miyamae is accused of groping TSA agent Barbara O'Toole's "left breast through her clothing and squeezing and twisting it with both hands without the victim's permission."
Miyamae admits to groping the agent and faces felony charges of sexual abuse, the Daily News reports. Miyamae was released from a Phoenix-area jail on Friday.
This is a rare incident in the age of the TSA, when more notably TSA agents are accused of groping grandmas, babies and even celebrities, from Rumsfeld to former beauty queens.
I told a TSA agent (woman) after I got wand-ed once, "well, you know, now, we have to get married" she didn't think it was funny, but the other passengers did.
I think they're screened to make sure they have no sense of humor whatsoever. It's in the TSA bylaws.

I am sure they are instructed to not "interact" with passengers as it could distract them and give an air of playing favorites. It would be tough to do - I am a bit chatty in situations like that

Really? I have a close friend that works TSA at DIA. She is a chipper and bright person, but when she's on the job, she is constantly in the spotlight. She can't ever let her guard down and be friendly. She has a job to do and you are the job. Everybody is suspect and she has to treat everyone like they are a potential terrorist.
In addition, every person she screens is grumpy and indignant at being treated like a potential criminal.
