Federal transportation security officers subjected a Muslim woman to a humiliating search as she was traveling through Dayton International Airport, a Muslim advocacy organization said Wednesday, July 22.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations said it mailed letters of complaint on Monday to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security&rsquo;s civil rights office, and was awaiting their responses. The TSA is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
The woman wore a full-length dress and an Islamic head scarf when she was stopped and pulled out of line on June 2 for a &ldquo;pat-down&rdquo; search at an airport security checkpoint, the council said in a statement sent to news organizations.
