Diana Ross is claiming in a series of early-morning tweets on Sunday that a Transportation Security Administration agent made her feel "violated" at an airport in New Orleans.
The 12-time Grammy nominated singer wrote that she was treated "like royalty" while she was in the city to perform at the Jazz and Heritage Festival this weekend, but at the airport she was "treated like s---."
"Let me be clear , Not the peiple [sic] or Delta BUT TSA , was over the top !! Makes me want to cry," she wrote.
In a subsequent tweet, she explained the incident. "Its not what was done but how , I am feeling violated - I still feel her hands between my legs , front and back ( saying to me it her job ,) WOW!!" she wrote.
"Really mixed emotions," she added. "I always like to see the good things but not feeling good right now."

(62,444 posts)Singer Diana Ross was arrested Wednesday at Heathrow Airport after allegedly assaulting a security officer. She was released in the afternoon, walking out of the Heathrow police station through a mob of reporters.
Seems to happen to her a lot.

(3,338 posts)She felt completely violated, not only was she having to travel for business while dealing with cramps and not feeling 100%, her pad she was wearing triggered a full body search.

(1,733 posts)Really? That is a fucking stupid waste of time.
Whatever algorithm suggested she be searched down to the skin needs work.
It isn't the way the next plane will be downed anyway.
Because we are already looking for it.
