A woman trying to board an airplane at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport’s terminal four turned the tables on a Transportation Security Administration officer: she admittedly grabbed the agent’s breast.
Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Miyamae grabbed the breast of a TSA employee after refusing a security screening.
Phoenix Sergeant Steve Martos says Miyamae was in terminal four’s checkpoint D about 3:30 p.m. Thursday when she refused a screening by the TSA officer.
According to Martos, Miyamae became argumentative after refusing the screening and grabbed the agent’s breast.
