Mother sues TSA over request to strip search her transgender teen
CNN
A North Carolina mother is suing the Transportation Security Administration and an agency supervisor for a May 2019 incident involving her transgender teenager who was asked to undergo a strip search at an airport.
According to a complaint filed Monday, Kimberly Erway and her 15-year-old daughter, Jamii Erway, were flying out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport in May 2019. When Jamii went through the TSA body scanner, it indicated a "false positive," according to the complaint. TSA's transgender passenger webpage states "the TSA officer presses a button designating a gender (male/female) based on how you present yourself" when entering the scanner.More Related News
