A 63-year-old Wisconsin woman convicted of grabbing an airport screener’s breasts was sentenced to one year of federal probation.
A US District Court convicted Phyllis Dintenfass of assault of a federal employee.
The woman’s hairpins and pants button triggered an alert from a walk-through metal detector in late 2004. When the screener conducted a pat-down search, she was touched on her breasts.
Ms Dintenfass said she did not expect to be touched in an intimate area and defended her actions as a momentary lapse of judgment.
