TSA Hassles Leukemia Patient, Endangers Her Health

Writer's picture: OurStudioOurStudio

A leukemia patient making what she calls an "end-of-life" trip to Hawaii says she was embarrassed by security agents at the Seattle airport who refused her request for a private pat-down and made her lift her shirt and pull back her bandages.

Michelle Dunaj also says an agent at Sea-Tac Airport opened a saline bag, contaminating fluid she needs to survive.

TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis tells KOMO-TV it's against policy to deny a private screening for passengers who request it. The agency is investigating.
