He's Pissed

Thomas Sawyer went through an X-ray machine at Detroit Metro Airport, but Transportation Security Administration agents still pulled him out of the line for a pat down search. Sawyer, 61, warned the agent who searched him that he was a bladder cancer survivor and he should be careful because he had a urostomy bag. Despite his warning, the agent "firmly" searched him, breaking the seal on the bag and soaking Sawyer in urine. Sawyer said he didn't have time to clean up and change his clothes and had to board the plan with wet clothes. "I just broke down crying. I was just so humiliated, so embarrassed," he said.
