Passenger claims TSA inappropriately touched her vagina

Ashley Jessica, a doctoral student in psychology from Canada, claimed that TSA violated her by inappropriately touching her vagina during a pat-down search at the San Diego airport on May 23rd. The TSA denies that this occurred, and insists that the TSA officers conducting the pat-down followed proper procedures.

Ms. Jessica provided a video of the May 23, 2013 incident, which you can view below:

In 2012, Ashley was also involved in publicly supporting the Opt Out and Film Week, a campaign by a variety of private organizations to record TSA activities and to upload their videos to the Internet. Below is an interview she gave to InfoWars.com about the campaign in October 2012, as well as her advice on how passengers can participate.

TSA pat-down guidelines

The TSA web site list several reasons for performing a pat-down of a passenger, including cases where passengers opt out of using the full body scanners. Among the rights passengers have during a pat down is to request that it be performed in a private area, and to have the pat-down witnessed by a person chosen by the passenger.

TSA photography gGuidelines

According to a statement on the TSA web site, TSA does not prohibit the public, passengers or press from photographing, videotaping or filming at security checkpoints, as long as the screening process is not interfered with or slowed down. While TSA requests that monitors not be filmed or photograph, such activity does not appear to be explicitly prohibited. TSA also mention that local or state laws may restrict photography, and such activity may invite questions from local police or the TSA.
