WOMAN ACCUSED OF GROPING TSA AGENT AT PHOENIX AIRPORT

Good for her. They ask an elderly woman to remove her diaper, rip out a man’s colostomy, pat down or grope kids, make the handicapped remove limbs, squeeze men’s genitalia, well, I think I know where this woman was coming from. Or perhaps she actually dared to possess some dignity and self respect! I don't understand why what she did warrants a crime status but any of the above and so much more are "just the cost of safety".

PHOENIX ~

Some people are applauding a Colorado woman for grabbing a TSA agent's breast during the security screening.

Authorities say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae  who allegedly groped a female Transportation Security Administration agent at Phoenix’s international airport is facing a felony count of sexual abuse.

Mihame is accused of using both hands to grab and squeeze the left breast of the unidentified TSA agent Thursday at an airport checkpoint.

"The female became argumentative and refused to be screened by TSA staff. During the argument the suspect grabbed the breast of the TSA employee. The suspect admitted to grabbing the TSA agent and continued being argumentative," stated Phoenix Police.

According to a statement by the TSA:

"On July 14 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport at approximately 5:32 PM EDT, local law enforcement arrested a passenger for assaulting a TSA officer during the screening process. TSA officers work every day to protect the traveling public, and the agency will not tolerate assaults against its workforce."

NOOR: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

There's been an outpouring of support for Mihamae, perhaps because the TSA is an agency that people love to hate, especially after receiving lots of criticism lately about their "invasive" screening procedures.

True sheeple are saying, “Baaaaaa baaaa” which, when translated into English says something along the line of “the TSA is just there to do their job, and if you don't like it, don't fly.”

"My first thought was good for you, to try and get back at them just a little bit," said Marcus Brown, a Phoenix resident. "I think it's kind of a personal violation. I know since 9/11 we have to have some security but sometimes I think it goes a little too far."

"I think it's ridiculous," counters Eric Stern. "TSA are doing their job. They're paid to do a job. If you want to fly in an airplane, there are rules you have to follow."

Baaa baaaaa!

Police were called and say Mihamae admitted grabbing the TSA agent and continued to argue with officers before she was arrested.

The self-employed businesswoman is now facing a single count of felony sex abuse. She was released from jail on Friday morning.

Karen Brooks of Phoenix understands where Mihamae's coming from. "People can get very offended, why did you pick me out of everybody else here. Maybe she was just a little upset?"
