American accused of groping airport security staff

[Jazzy]

Yukari Mihamae was arrested last week after she allegedly squeezed the breasts of a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer at Phoenix’s Sky Harbour Airport.



The TSA claimed the 61-year-old refused to go through passenger screening and became argumentative, before groping the agent with both hands.



Ms Mihamae said she was fed up with being manhandled by airport security staff – and thousands of Facebook users have given her their backing.



The community page Acquit Yukari Mihamae on the social networking site has attracted more than 2,000 members, with Ms Mihamae described by users as “courageous” and “a freedom fighter”.



The TSA has been criticised in recent months for the invasiveness of its screening techniques, which include a pat-down of the groin, breasts and buttocks, and the use of controversial full body scanners.



Earlier this year security staff at New Orleans airport angered the parents of a six-year-old girl after she was subjected to an“intensive” frisking, one of dozens of complaints to receive widespread publicity.



Ms Mihamae was released on Friday. No charges have yet been filed.
