A North Carolina mother is suing the TSA 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 based on how you present yourself" when entering the scanner.
The supervisor, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, told Jamii she needed to be strip searched in a nearby private room and wouldn't be allowed to leave the checkpoint area until she complied, according to the lawsuit.The complaint says"TSA procedure for resolving such anomalies is to conduct a brief pat-down search.
