Report: Flyer sets off metal detector, TSA sued

New technology aimed at easing TSA screening at international terminal June 5, 2019 Atlanta - Two new TSA smart lanes at the international terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson are aimed at making it easier for travelers to get through screening. The new lanes are equipped with CT machines, which allow passengers to keep all items in their bags instead of removing them and putting them into bins. The bin-loading area also has lights that indicate when a station is open for a passenger to begin loading a bin. RYON HORNE/RHORNE@AJC.COM

Tulsa, Okla. — A Las Vegas woman has sued the Transportation Security Administration after she says they made her strip down in Oklahoma before a flight back to Nevada.

KTNV television in Las Vegas reports Rhonda Mengert says in her lawsuit she was traveling through Tulsa International Airport on Mother's Day when an implant in her hip set off the metal detector.

Mengert says she agreed to be pat down by a TSA agent.

Mengert says agents then took her to a private room and asked her to show her private parts.
