Quote:
After a particularly aggressive patdown in March that might be better termed a feel-up, advice blogger Amy Alkon graphically described how she sobbed loudly while a TSA agent put her hands “into” her — four times. She screamed “You raped me” after the LAX patdown and took the agent’s name with plans to file charges of sexual assault. Those plans fell through after consulting an attorney, but she did blog about it and included the agent’s name, thereby inflicting her own assault — on the agent’s Google search results.

The TSA officially apologized to her and gave their agent additional instruction on proper pat-down technique. Ha! Ha! No they didn't, and the TSA agent has filed a threatening lawsuit in order to demand $500,000.

The TSA agent then hired a lawyer who contacted Alkon asking her to remove the post, threatening her with a defamation lawsuit, and asking for a settlement of $500,000. "Rape is a very serious charge," writes lawyer Vicki Roberts on Thedala Magee's behalf.
