I don't get all the fuss either. I watched the news video and it didn't look anything like a real cavity search. I also didn't see anything the TSA doesn't do every day in airports, and like the female officer, TSA agents do not change gloves between passengers. As long as suspects keep hiding their drugs and weapons in their pants, it's a legitimate place to search for contraband.

Thank you for your personal opinion.
I think you'll find most here are in disagreement.. And I think in the coming months we will see the department, and with luck a judge/ jury does as well.

One point of correction... Yes, a TSA agent DOES change gloves after doing a hands on skin contact search of a travelers bits and parts that were searched in this reported case.

I have seen that in written policy, and in practice. And someplace around here we have a former TSA agent that might confirm as well.

Two women are suing DPS for performing cavity searches on them on the roadside. Caught on dashcam. Also the women claim the female officer did not change her glove between searches.

Exactly! Now we're getting somewhere...
