REP DEMANDS TSA CORRECT ACCOUNT OF BOY’S STRIP SEARCH

The Blaze


The YouTube counter says nearly two million people have watched the video of TSA agents searching a shirtless boy at the Salt Lake City Airport last Friday.  You can see the video in our original (and at the time…somewhat skeptical post) here.
There have been a good number of twists in the story since it first emerged.  And now, a U.S. congressman is revealing new information that shows just how volatile such viral accounts of TSA nightmares are for the beleaguered agency.  In an exclusive interview with The Blaze, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is charging that the public TSA account of what happened that day is “not accurate.”  Further, he has sent a letter to the agency, and the White House, asking that the record be set straight.
“They have an obligation to correct the record,” Chaffetz told me by phone Wednesday afternoon.
The new information involves the issue of whether the boy set off an alarm during the security check.  But that’s only one part of this new account of what happened in the search of the boy, who Chaffetz says is autistic.
Before we walk through the new information, you may want to listen to an interview Glenn Beck did with Luke Tait, the young man who took the original video, this morning on the radio:
After that interview aired, Rep. Chaffetz agreed to go on the record about what he has learned. I first asked Chaffetz if he knew the identity of the boy or his family. He did not. His information comes from repeated communication with the TSA agent in charge at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
