Denise Albert, from the SiriusXM Radio Show "The Moms", is battling breast cancer and says that what happened to her during a TSA search while traveling should never happen to anyone.
Albert says she has never felt so violated, according to ABC-TV7.
"It's a feeling that I just never expect to ever experience," Albert said.The mother of two, who has been quite public about her battle with breast cancer, posted that humiliating experience on Facebook. For the past three years, she's been the host of show called "The MOMS with Denise and Melissa" on SiriusXM and WPIX 11-TV.
She says Sunday night at LAX, TSA agents aggressively tried to do a body cavity search - in public.
This all happened after she informed them of the metal port on her chest and the medical cream in her bag.
"Her hands were shoving up me, and she went around me and down my pants in the back. And then when she tried to put her hands in my shirt is when I said, 'enough,'" Albert said.
"I actually want those people fired because they didn't follow any protocol and I think it was really a game for them," Albert said.
The 42-year-old has filed a formal complaint with the TSA. The agency informed her the matter will be investigated by supervisors at LAX.
The TSA released a statement Monday night saying, "The Transportation Security Administration takes reports of alleged impropriety very seriously. TSA is currently looking into the specific details as to what occurred during the screening process to ensure our security protocols were followed. We regret any discomfort the security screening process may have caused the passenger. We will work with the passenger directly to address her concerns."
