Examples of TSA pat downs going too far

TSA may have made a big mistake with this ABC News employee. Going too far with a member of the media is something that they are likely to regret. TSA is explaining that this should never have happened, but there are more than a few searches that have been described this way. The piece has multiple troubling cases from just the last week.

An ABC News employee said she was subject to a "demeaning" search at Newark Liberty International Airport Sunday morning.

"The woman who checked me reached her hands inside my underwear and felt her way around," she said. "It was basically worse than going to the gynecologist. It was embarrassing. It was demeaning. It was inappropriate."

That search was against protocols and "never" should have happened, TSA Administrator John Pistole told "Good Morning America" today. . . .
