Sacramento traveler wants TSA screener arrested for security pat-down

SACRAMENTO, CA - A woman who said she felt sexually violated by a security screener at Sacramento International Airport is insisting on a criminal investigation.

Wendy James Gigliotti, 43, believes she was pulled from the line of passengers going through security Tuesday morning because she was wearing a loose-fitting skirt.

Gigliotti said the female screener ordered her to spread her legs, and then conducted an extremely personal pat-down in full view of other passengers.

"I feel like I was sexually assaulted. Anybody but my husband or my doctor shouldn't be touching me up between my legs," she said.

Gigliotti, who is visiting family in Ann Arbor, Michigan until mid-December, said the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department told her she should have reported the incident before she got on the plane.

3. Sacramento County Sheriff should go stick their baton up their ass.

Sure she should had reported it before she boarded. But do they efn understand that there isn't much time between search and board? I'm wondering what resources are available to allow for a report to be made once they get past the security point? Does she ask the TSA to call police? Does she have to make a call herself and are there phones that she can use once she is past the security point?

4. Apparently the statute of limitations on sexual assault is the wait before boarding a plane. nt
