Woman in wheelchair and underwear misses flight at Will Rogers, blames TSA
A woman in a wheelchair wearing only her bra and panties in hopes of preventing an intrusive search by Transportation Security Administration employees missed her flight Tuesday at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
She said TSA told her she couldnt board her flight after a lengthy search and questioning.
Tammy Banovac, 52, said she chose to wear her underwear because of an unpleasant experience two weeks ago at airport security. She is typically hand-searched at airports because she uses a wheelchair, she said, and she felt violated by the more invasive searches employed at airports recently.
If it happened anywhere else, it would have been sexual assault.
