Baywatch babe says TSA agent picked her out of line to see her naked on scan
Marc Schenker, Vancouver American Politics Examiner
Baywatch babe says TSA agent picked her out of line to see her naked on full body scan. Former Baywatch actress Donna D’Errico is venting and outraged for what she says was a purposeful selection of her out of a line at a Los Angeles airport by a TSA agent, just so she could be seen naked. She’s also angry that no one told her that she had a right to opt out and choose the more friendly pat-down screening method instead. Making this, she says, traumatic episode all the worse was that she was actually traveling with her son and on her way to see a dying aunt, when the TSA agent picked her out and ruined her trip. In an appearance on Fox News’ "Your World" yesterday, the bit actress was interviewed by Neil Cavuto, giving her access to millions of viewers for the first time in years.
Some people may remember the former Baywatch actress (read: pinup model with barely any real acting abilities) from her method-acting approach to the role of Donna Marco on Baywatch, for two years in the late 1990s. In fact, if you do remember her, you probably have old VHS tapes of every Baywatch episode she ever appeared in, and said tapes may be pretty worn out now, mostly from constant watching and re-watching.
In the appearance on "Your World," D’Errico fumed for what she says were the high school-like approach and antics of the male TSA agent and a few of his other co-workers (who were all males, too!). D’Errico asserted that she was the only passenger picked out of the line while all the other passengers were left alone. She also says that when she demanded an explanation from the agent, she only got the rather ominous and somewhat insinuating "…because you caught my eye!" response from the male agent. While readers can speculate as to what in the hell the agent just truly meant (To me, it sounds like he wanted to see her naked because he may have recognized her from all those old VHS tapes of "Baywatch" back in the 1990s.), this just illustrates the all-idiotic approach to fake national security from the inept TSA who refuses to profile Muslims at the expense of all travelers.
D’Errico’s shame does not end there. However, though, you have to admit, it’s already a pretty big shame for her (a former Baywatch "actress" and now sporadic bit actress) to be singled out just because the TSA agent may have wanted to have his own personal pinup image. What lends a little more credence to her assertions that she was taken advantage of was the way the agent and his male co-workers were acting after she got full body-scanned. In her words, they were acting like high-school kids (I guess that means they were close to making cat calls towards her?) by smiling and laughing and pointing in her direction. To me, it seems like they were unprofessional in their glee that a former Baywatch "actress" just walked through their full body scanners!!
This matter of D’Errico’s aside, the fact alone that she was improperly pulled out of the line shows how all Americans have to suffer due to political correctness. After all, political correctness is what drew D’Errico out of the line (okay, and maybe the libido of some TSA guys) because she’s not likely going to be a suicide-bombing terrorist, is she?! I mean, how many former Baywatch "actresses" do you know who are an active national security threat to the US?! Personally, I know of no such cases.
To sum up, if D’Errico’s story is true, it was unprofessional to say the least, and she should get an apology at the least. But in the broader scope of things, it’s repulsive that a blonde, Caucasian women traveling with her son was pulled out and forced to get a full body scan! Isn’t the TSA supposed to screen against potential threats? They should be screening people who look like bin Laden or Mohammed Atta, not a Caucasian women with a kid in tow.
