A Youtube video has gone viral.

The setting: Sky Harbor International Airport. The plot: a woman freaking out after she claims she was "molested" by a Transportation Security Administration officer.

During a routine security pat down, the woman claims the TSA officer grabbed her breast -- then she goes ballistic, and her son is scolded by officers for recording the spectacle.

TSA spokesman Nico Melendez tells New Times the agency will have a response to the video -- and the woman's claims of molestation -- later today.

In the meantime, check out the video below.
