One of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s daughters said she experienced an “absurdly invasive” pat-down Thursday at an airport security checkpoint and suggested her father would limit or eliminate the Transportation Security Administration if it was under his authority.
Evita Duffy-Alfonso said on the social platform X that she nearly missed her flight after opting out of a body scan because she said she is pregnant and concerned about radiation exposure. She said she waited 15 minutes for a pat-down and that TSA agents were “rude” and “tried to pressure” her into walking through the scanner.
It should be considered unconstitutional. It should be considered a violation of the 4th amendment. It should be illegal.
Well, I guess on the bright side we might finally see the utter waste of resources that the TSA is eliminated. Guess this is one of those “a broken clock is right twice a day” situations. Not many wins to be had under this administration, but if this happened it would be one of the only positive things.
I agree but the problem is, her daddy is Secretary of Transportation, while TSA is under DHS.
I always like to remind white people that for POC and minorities, every time they go outside, they’re stepping into the TSA security line. https://gitnux.org/stop-and-frisk-statistics/
And the police also have lethal force and zero accountability
“I’m gonna tell my daddy on you. Then you’re in real trouble!”
Don’t you know who I am??
Yes … (Tazers her)
“Do you know who my dad is?”
How the fuck is this news?
The princess from every 90’s teen movie that says “Do you know who my father is?!”
Alternative headline,
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s daughter flys for the first time in 25 years
Nah, this is just the first time she hasn’t been treated with privilege. POC deal with the pay-downs all the time. This is just the first time they dared to pick her for the pat down.
If you’re worried about radiation exposure from a stupid lower energy millimeter wave body scanner, you should throwaway the phone you just used to shit post to X, and you sure as fuck shouldn’t be flying on a plane that blasts you with higher energy cosmic radiation.
Many people are unaware of the technology that goes into millimeter wave scanners, and although harmless physically, they are quite invasive in a privacy sense (by definition), and I don’t criticize her for refusing to use one, even if by faulty reasoning.
