DAYTON, Ohio - Erin Chase was traveling with her baby boy when she says a pat-down by a TSA screener just went too far.
"She sexually assaulted me, she needs to lose her job," Chase said.
The pat-down happened at the Dayton International Airport in Ohio, and comes as frustrations with airport security measures across the country are reaching a fever pitch. Chase describes a lengthy hands on search and claims the TSA agent groped her from head to toe.
"She went all the way up my legs, up my inner thighs, felt all along my inner thighs until she reached my genital area, touching both sides," Chase said.
TSA officials have released a statement about the passenger's claims, saying "TSA personnel have been in contact with the passenger, are reviewing the alleged incident and will take appropriate action if necessary."
