Tammy Banovac, Airline Passenger In Wheelchair, Strips To Lingerie For TSA Patdown (VIDEO)

Tammy Banovac, a 52-year old, wheelchair-user from Oklahoma, stripped down to her skivvies (in this case, black lingerie) to get through security at Will Rogers World Airport Tuesday, according to CBS News.

Banovac tried to get through security twice, the first time in a trench-coat, but stripped down to get through security faster to make her flight to Phoenix. Fellow passengers quickly saw what she was doing and captured the event on YouTube. Banovac is seen in the video wearing only lingerie, pearls and has a white dog on her lap.

An airport spokeswoman told a CBS affiliate that Banovac refused to go through the metal detector after she had stripped down (which is clear considering her placement in the security area). TSA agents said they found traces of nitrate residue on her body.

Banovac told USA Today that the TSA's new patdowns have her feeling violated after she had an "unpleasant" experience with the TSA two weeks ago.

Police. The TSA. All law enforcement in this country is out of control

TSA aren't even law enforcement. They are minimally paid, untrained security guards with homeland security allowing them to run wild.

...probably that strange, drugged out look on her face when she stared through the camera trying to decide whether the cameraman was indeed a flying giraffe or just another feathery bird-cat soaring by.
