Meg McLain claims that the TSA ripped up her US Airways plane ticket and called police who restrained her in a chair, cuffed her, and escorted her out of the airport after she opted out of the backscatter can. Her radio interview describing the incident is at 390,000 hits and growing, and the TSA has posted CCTV of the incident on their blog.

A little outside the TSA's operating realm. Actually, WAY outside of. Utter abuse of "power" by little-trained, unskilled workers.
