TSA Apologizes to Native American Traveler Who Said an Agent Pulled Her Braids and Said ‘Giddyup’

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has apologized to a Native American traveler who says she faced a 'humiliating' encounter with an employee during a security pat-down.

While traveling through Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Tara Houska, an indigenous rights activist and lawyer, said on Twitter last week that a TSA agent pulled her braids behind her shoulders, laughed and said 'giddyup!' before snapping her braids like reins.
