TSA gives Sen. Claire McCaskill an 'aggressive,' 'very uncomfortable' pat-down

A routine airport screening turned absurd today when TSA officials gave a sitting U.S. Senator  an aggressive security pat-down.

What exactly was on Sen. McCaskill’s hands that could have caused TSA such concern?

They said maybe hand lotion?!? ??“@carlabond: What in the world had you been handling that would create a positive result?”
