Grand Rapids Passenger Ella Swift Describes TSA Groping as Violent: TSA Says Agent Acted "Appropriately and Respectfully."

More tales of the TSA, and this time the sexual assault sounds more like an attempted rape. Ella Swift left the TSA checkpoint in tears after the TSA agent's pat down, which she described at "violent."

"The female officer ran her hand up the inside of my leg to my groin and she did it so hard and so rough she lifted me off my heels," she says. "I think I yelped. I was in pain for about an hour afterwards. It just felt excessive and unnecessary."

After a review, the TSA says the agent acted "appropriately and respectfully.", of course.
