tsa tries to defuse pat-down controversy
Since the Traffic Safety Administration introduced more intrusive measures, it has quickly become the country\'s most critical government agency.
On October, a shutdown procedure was carried out shortly after dozens of full-body scanners were installed at the National Airport.

As far as the last point on its list is concerned, TSA tried to counter radio host Meg McLean\'s claim that she refused to be handcuffed to her chair after passing the full body scanner.
