A Las Vegas woman is suing the Transportation Security Administration after they made her strip down before her flight back home. According to the complaint filed, she was traveling through Tulsa International Airport on Mother's Day to Las Vegas when an implant in her hip set off the metal detector. She agreed to be pat down by a TSA agent. During the pat down, the agent discovered a "common feminine hygiene" product that she was wearing underneath her clothes. That's when she claims TSA agents took her to a private room and asked her to strip down and expose her genitals and remove her feminine hygiene product. The woman says she is suffering severe emotional distress and says the search violated her rights.
