Two weeks ago, U.S. Rep. Francisco Canseco (R-Texas) claimed a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent got a little too touchy feeling during a pat down. The Blaze reported Canseco saying his pat down was done “very, very aggressively,” which resulted in him instinctively swatting the agents hand away from his groin area. From there, it was agent vs. Canseco in who assaulted who.

The agent patting Canseco called for backup, which held the representative for longer at the security checkpoint and resulted in a second pat down by another agent. Now, the TSA footage has been released and you can see the incident for yourself in this KENS 5 San Antonio news report:

In the report, Canseco says he believes he was targeted and does not view the request for a pat down after he had gone through the full body scanner as a coincidence.
