DA promises to prosecute overly touchy pat downs

Posted on November 17, 2010July 3, 2025 by Dissent

Lyanne Melendez reports:

The San Mateo district attorney’s office has a warning for all TSA personnel at SFO — anyone inappropriately touching a passenger during a security pat down will be prosecuted.

Incoming San Mateo DA Steve Wagstaffe says any complaints of inappropriate touching during an airport security pat down will land on his desk.

“The case would be reviewed and if we could prove the elements of it, that it was inappropriately done with a sexual or lewd intent, that person would be prosecuted,” he said.

Sounds like a blustery day in San Mateo.  Read more on ABC.
