Morrissey was traveling through the San Fransisco airport yesterday and he claims that one of the TSA Agents got too familiar with him.
The singer released a statement saying he went through the detector and everything seemed fine. Then he added, “Before I could gather my belongings from the usual array of trays I was approached by an ‘airport security officer’ who stopped me, crouched before me and groped my penis and testicles. He quickly moved away as an older ‘airport security officer’ approached.” Morrissey then says that he was with two members of British Airways Special Services who so “horrified at the sexual attack” they suggested he lodge a complaint. Morrissey explained that at first he was hesitant to do so, but eventually he did.
Even though he thought the complaint would be ignored, a TSA spokesperson told
Rolling Stone, “TSA takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and strives to treat every passenger with dignity and respect. Upon review of closed circuit TV footage, TSA determined that the supervised officer followed standard operating procedures in the screening of this individual.”
As of now, Morrissey has not responded to the TSA responding to him.
