Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae is accused of grabbing the left breast of the unidentified TSA agent Thursday afternoon at an airport checkpoint.

TSA staff say Mihamae refused to be go through passenger screening and became argumentative before she squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands.

Police were called and say Mihamae admitted grabbing the TSA agent and continued to argue with officers before she was arrested.

Maricopa County jail officials say Mihamae was released from custody Friday. They couldn't immediately provide any information about her case status.

Phoenix TV station KSAZ says Mihamae lives in Longmont, Colo., and is self-employed.

In reply to triumph5:

Yea- here's an interesting one- PB is a long time poster, but somehow when he cut and pasted an article, spam was put in the middle. How does that happen?

I think it was dropped to misdemeanor, rather than a felony. Should have just let her off with a citation to not abuse the poor government employees.

My apologies to you, pilotbraden. I didn't check who sent it. And I just made Sper Dork!! Talk about irony

You gotta really piss me off to get me to grab and twist you by your breast. I don't think I've ever been that pissed in fact.

How did I get spam in the article? Is the Free Press selling clandestine advertising?

Just a thought. Does anyone here really believe this was the same as a properly done pat down? I don't believe the TSA ever grabs and twists anyone's breast.

I freaking well had mine groped at the Amsterdam airport. Really pissed me off, too.

I feel I should chime in. I have yet to go through the new scanner, and I never will as long as there is an option. I must look like a terrorist because I never get picked to go through the metal detector anymore. I travel a lot for work and have gotten the TSA pat down close to 20 times now. Not once have I ever felt violated. Each and every time the gentleman was courteous and clinical. He explained every step and I was on my way in minutes. I usually stop by the TSA manager's desk and tell them which employee patted me down and that they were very professional.

Only my wife gets to see me naked, and I am still wary of the radiation potential of the new machines. I know the TSA gets a bad rap in the media, but as a frequent flyer I'm just not seeing it happen. If anything I'm annoyed because the new machines take longer to get people through.

Must just be because you aren't a woman or a child, cause all the stories I've seen about people being groped involved them.

Someone needs to explain to the woman that titty twisters are only supposed to involve the nipple, not the entire boob.

Possibly the best coverage of the story http://www.wpix.com/wpix-lionel-on-pix-gallery,0,5078472.story

There was probably an add on the side of the screen that you didn't realize got highlighted before you cut and pasted.

I have had the tsa patdown and ya admittedly its more touching than i want some stranger to have but its not absolutly terrible.

You shouldn't be treated like a terrorist when all your trying to do is go to Grandma's house. Remember when the police had to have just cause to search you? Get out your papers comrade.

Do you mean Triumph5's offense was dropped to a misdemeanor? Is there a patio involved?
