Evita Duffy-Alfonso, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's daughter, declared that the Transportation and Security Administration was "unconstitutional" after she was forced to wait 15 minutes for a pat-down.
"I nearly missed my flight this morning after the TSA made me wait 15 minutes for a pat-down because I'm pregnant and didn't feel like getting radiation exposure from their body scanner," Duffy-Alfonso wrote in a Thursday post on X. "The agents were passive-aggressive, rude, and tried to pressure me and another pregnant woman into just walking through the scanner because it's 'safe.'"
"After finally getting the absurdly invasive pat-down, I barely made my flight. All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn't even good at its job," she ranted. "Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I'd handed over my biometric data to a random private company (CLEAR). Then I could enjoy the special privilege of waiting in a shorter line to be treated like a terrorist in my own country. Is this freedom?"
"Travel, brought to you by George Orwell—and the privilege of convenience based solely on your willingness to surrender biometric data and submit to radiation exposure? The 'golden age of transportation' cannot begin until the TSA is gone."
Duffy-Alfonso later took a shot at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
"TSA is under DHS, which is run by Kristi Noem. If [my father] did have TSA, he'd radically limit it and lobby Congress to abolish it," she told one commenter.
