Imagine the shock on the TSA agents’ faces when Tammy Banovac showed up for her flight on Tuesday in Oklahoma wearing only her bra and panties and sitting in a wheelchair. Now imagine the look on their faces when Banovac failed her screening because nitrates, used in bomb-making, were found on her wheelchair.
