CNN commentator compares her TSA 'vagina chop' to Donald Trump's 'p-grabbing'

CNN’s Angela Rye documented a rather personal TSA pat-down at DTW in Detroit, including a now viral video of the inspection shot by a police officer:

1. Metal detector and AIT (same thing). The AIT is what flagged my vag. I repeatedly refused a vaginal pat down. So they called police. https://t.co/fFtjbXW9H4

2. Even offered to go back through AIT. They told me to get the pat down or be escorted out by police.

3. Instead, the officer recorded TSA's pat down and offered to file an incident report when it was finished.

4. What she explained she would do in "back hand" pat down and the actual vaginal chop that occurred were diff. I would've preferred neither

Apparently Rye was randomly selected for extra screening and that’s when the problem started. From CNN:

The TSA agent told me to spread my legs. Interested to know why I needed to open my legs further than the yellow feet imprints, I inquired. What are the footprints there for, then? She insisted that my floor-length dress would stop flowing if my legs were spread that far apart. I shrugged with a “girl, I guess” kind of indifference.

What happened next was unbelievable. The backscatter machine alerted to my right Uggs boot, three areas near my vagina and I think somewhere on my back.

I asked them to do this in public. I wouldn't have felt safer or less violated in "private". https://t.co/vCB0naXCUi

Here’s the video:

I asked the police officer to film this so I can send to @TSA. I'm hoping my humiliation will fix the system. #TSAVaginaMonologues pic.twitter.com/lypkkcpZCW

This certainly looks awful and all and we’ve posted before on the TSA’s ridiculous security theater, but was it really necessary to turn this into something anti-Trump?

So, apparently TSA follows a p-grabbing Trump model…? https://t.co/L2um8XaKbt
