Donna D'Errico Los Angeles, Dec 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Donna D’Errico was left fuming after passing through the full body scanner at the LAX International Airport. She described the whole experience as humiliating and outrageous.

During an interview, the former Baywatch star and Playboy playmate complained that she was humiliated when she was stopped and given a full body scan. She claimed that with her boyfriend’s outgrown beard, she expected that he will rather be pulled up but was shocked that she was chosen to be taken through the scanner.

In the interview, she revealed that she was not certain whether she was singled out because she was recognized. She claimed that she was not informed earlier enough that she was going to be put through the full body scanner.

The new TSA checks have come under intense criticism for their invasive nature. If Donna had opted out of the full body scanner, the option available will be the “enhanced” full body scanner. That also involves groping and other intrusive touching. That though would have been done by an agent of the same sex.

The TSA has defended the new checks claiming that it is necessary to protect Americans in the face of the threats that are posed by terrorists from all over the world.
