Has it gone far enough yet? Flight attendant and cancer survivor Cathy Bossi forced to show her prosthetic breast during pat-down

tsa_logoIs this finally the breaking point for these ridiculous pat downs and groping by the TSA at airports? I doubt it with this tyrannical government, but I would think a good chunk of the population would be outraged at this. Gloria Allred might have actually approved though. Cathy Bossi is a Charlotte-area flight attendant and breast cancer survivor. According to a local TV station WBTV, Bossi says she was forced to show her prosthetic breast during one of those TSA pat-downs. Cathy Bossi has been a flight attendant for the past 32 years, and has been working for U.S. Airways for the past 28 years. Cathy Bossi did not want to go through one of those “full body scanners” because of the amounts of radiation they emit.

She says two female Charlotte T.S.A. agents took her to a private room and began what she calls an aggressive pat down. She says they stopped when they got around to feeling her right breast… the one where she’d had surgery.

“She put her full hand on my breast and said, ‘What is this?’. And I said, ‘It’s my prosthesis because I’ve had breast cancer.’ And she said, ‘Well, you’ll need to show me that’.”

Cathy was asked to show her prosthetic breast, removing it from her bra.

Bossi didn’t take the name of the people involved in the matter because she said it was just to horrific of an experience. But don’r worry though, the TSA is “reviewing” the matter.
