CONGRESSMAN CLAIMS SEXUAL ASSAULT BY TSA AGENT
The TSA has been forced to release security footage of an incident that occurred two weeks ago at San Antonio International Airport involving Texas Congressman Francisco Cansecow who refused to allow a screener to fondle his genitals. The video clips, obtained by San Antonio TV station KENS 5, show Texas Rep. Francisco Canseco being singled out for an enhanced pat down. As the TSA screener grabs for Canseco’s testicles, the Congressman is seen reacting by swatting the screener’s hand. The video then shows TSA officials and San Antonio police officers swarming around Canseco, before he is finally patted down by another screener and allowed to leave for his flight. “The agent was very aggressive in his pat-down, and he was grabbing me down where no one is supposed to go,” “It got very uncomfortable so I moved his hand away. That stopped everything and brought in supervisors and everyone else.” Canseco added. A further video shows Canseco being confronted by a TSA screener in the same airport the following week. Canseco contends that after complaining about the first incident and describing it as assault he was then targeted for future patdowns by the TSA. “I did not see it as a coincidence,” he said. “I asked them why are you going to pat me down again, so we discussed it further and after discussing it further, they patted me down.”
