"We&amp;#x27;ve seen our fair share of airport wardrobe injustices in the past year--the girl who was thrown in the clink at LaGuardia for her jewelry; the woman whose Daisy Dukes got her booted from a JetBlue flight--but this latest story may take the cake. According to USA Today, 84-year-old grandmother Lenore Zimmerman claims she was strip-searched at JFK: &amp;quot;[She] said she was taken to a private room and made to take off her pants and other clothes after she asked to forgo the screening because she worried it would interfere with her defibrillator....Zimmerman went to Kennedy Airport for a 1 p.m. flight Tuesday to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on JetBlue, she said. She arrived to the ticket counter around 12:20 p.m. and headed for security in a wheelchair, her small, metal walker in her lap. She&amp;#x27;s been traveling to Florida for at least a decade and has never had a problem being patted down until now, she said. &amp;#x27;I worry about my heart, so I don&amp;#x27;t want to go through those things,&amp;#x27; she said referring to the advanced image technology screening machines now in place at the airport. As a result, she said she was taken into the private screening room by one agent and made to strip.&amp;quot; The TSA denies that a strip search happened, and issued the following statement: &amp;quot;While we regret that the passenger feels she had an unpleasant screening experience, TSA does not include strip searches as part of our security protocols and one was not conducted in this case.&amp;quot; Zimmerman told the Daily News that the TSA is lying to protect themselves, and she will pursue a lawsuit. While there is security video of her being taken into the private screening room, the incident itself was unrecorded, so it&amp;#x27;s a wheelchair-bound octogenarian&amp;#x27;s word against the TSA&amp;#x27;s. Between having to remove your shoes, getting a full-body scan, and incidents like these, do you think airport screenings have become too invasive? Whose side are you on in this case?
