Dana Loesch of Breitbart.com and CNN and her husband, Chris Loesch, were stopped by the TSA today when catching a flight home from Netroots Nation. Dana gave a running account of the TSA’s “handling” of things via her Twitter feed.
It's a god thing TSA checks groins. #safety #tyranny http://t.co/Zcb3dDbO

Two men are required to swab literally everything. Asking him if he shot a gun in current clothes. http://t.co/gLHU6f9Z

They've been "screening" him now for 20 minutes. #tsa

TSA just forced us into private screening, claimed second alarm, threatened to escort me out when I asked officers name
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Because of TSA we will miss our flight. I got part on video.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
They're claiming that he's covered in nitrate. TSA says we won't make our flight.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
What the TSA just did would classify as molestation outside of an airport. They "had" to repeatedly feel his crotch.

We are surrounded by TSA officers in Providence airport. Will not make flight.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
He's been subjected to two patdowns, one very rigorous, two swabs, and is being held in a private room.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
I asked for the officers name and he threatened to call police. On video. #tsa
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Waiting for them to release him.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Officer Cummings of Providence airport is one who threatened security
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Just released. 40 min screening. Running
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Do t know if we'll make flight or have wifi. I will post video soon as I can get a connection
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) June 10, 2012
Dana will be posting video of our tax dollars at work, sigh, as soon as possible.
FLIGHT HAS WIFI

Twitter users were united in questioning the TSA’s actions.
Your TSA at work: read @DLoesch's time line.

wow RT @glenasbury: Go to @DLoesch's timeline right now. The @TSA is completely out of control. This is beyond outrageous. It must cease.
— Ryan (@chasinghumility) June 10, 2012
How does @ChrisLoesch go from, per the TSA, "covered in Nitrates" 2 "okay, free 2 go"? @DLoesch will have the video up soon. #tcot #TSAfail
— Melissia (@ProudoftheUSA) June 10, 2012
Indeed. Something fishy at the TSA yet again?
Twitchy will update with video as soon as it is available.
