The TSA has released security footage of an incident that occurred two weeks ago at San Antonio International Airport involving a Congressman who refused to allow a screener to touch 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 reaches for Canseco’s private parts, the Congressman is seen swatting away 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 patting me down where no one is supposed to go,” Canseco, who describes himself as a “limited-government conservative”, told KENS 5 news.
“It got very uncomfortable so I moved his hand away. That stopped everything and brought in supervisors and everyone else.” Canseco added.

Number 7: We have a CONgressman complaining about us whacking his balls!
Big Jan: Call the CIA. We need another underwear bomber to justify the big squeeze.
And why wasn't he tackled, tazed, pepper sprayed and arrested for daring to touch the King's man?! Because he is the King's man. Rank hath its privilege---next time phone ahead and you'll get the VIP escort past the rabble. "We didn't know you were coming."-- Jan
