Los Angeles Chargers football player claims he was sexually assaulted at California Airport by TSA staff
Chargers defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day did not have a good day at the airport. According to Joseph-Day, he is claiming that three TSA workers at an airport in California crossed the line and sexually abused him during a security check.
“I really just got sexually assaulted by TSA at @JohnWayneAir,” Joseph-Day tweeted. “After I asked the gentleman to please stop BC I’m uncomfortable and I feel that this part of the check is unnecessary (After he felt what was needed). Then they told me I was the problem after 3 TSA agents swarmed me.
“I’m all for people doing their job well,” he added. “But it was extremely unnecessary and dehumanizing. I travel a lot, for personal and work reasons. I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
TSA quickly responded to the claim on social media saying, “Hello [Sebastian Joseph-Day], thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our priority is to provide a comfortable and safe experience when traveling through John Wayne Airport. We are forwarding this information to TSA.”
Joseph-Day continued though after the response saying this:
“It’s one thing if they apologized after my concerns, but the supervisor threatened to call the sheriff on me if I didn’t finish the search after I expressed I was just violated & told me to watch my mouth. I don’t think it’s just a TSA issue.”
What do you think? Does TSA sometimes do too much?
