Tammy Banovac, a 52-year old, wheelchair-bound Oklahoman, stripped down to her skivvies (in this case, black lingerie) to get through security at Will Rogers World Airport Tuesday, according to CBS News.

Banovac tried to get through security twice, the first time in a trench-coat, but stripped down to get through security faster to make her flight to Phoenix. Fellow passengers quickly saw what she was doing and captured the event on YouTube. Banovac is seen in the video wearing only lingerie, pearls and has a white dog on her lap.

An airport spokeswoman told a CBS affiliate that Banovac refused to go through the metal detector after she had stripped down (which is clear considering her placement in the security area). TSA agents said they found traces of nitrate residue on her body.

Banovac told USA Today that the TSA's new patdowns have her feeling violated after she had an "unpleasant" experience with the TSA two weeks ago.

11. You might consider temporary disability before you open your mouth. I constantly
have to deflect, and sometimes politely answer questions about "you don't look disabled" and while it's understandable it's pretty annoying. I'm tempted to tell clients that have to deal with this question to reply, "Yes, it's difficult to see, isn't it. But I can see your disability. You're a nosy, rude jerk." I use a cane, too (not the nature of my disability) but I guarantee you I could kick your balls right up into the roof of your skull, even if I can't run a mile.

Lesson: Appearances can be deceiving.

So many people that are in wheelchairs and have handicapped appliances and stickers are just pretending because it's just so much fun to be disabled.

9. There's something wrong with this "story...."
It just doesn't make sense. It sounds way too close to something we would see in The Onion.

The headline-making woman who went through security at the Oklahoma City airport in her underwear appeared in a Playboy magazine pictorial featuring “dental girls” four years after her Arizona dental license was revoked over the death of a child in her care.

*****

The Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners revoked the dental license of Tammy L. Brewer in April 1993 after a 7-year-old boy died three hours after Brewer treated him to remove nine teeth, according to board records provided Wednesday to The Oklahoman. Brewer identified herself as Tammy Banovac, her married name, when being interviewed about events Tuesday and Wednesday at Will Rogers World Airport when she went to security using a wheelchair and wearing a bra and panties.

The Arizona board's ruling states that Banovac treated the boy in Tucson, Ariz., on May 9, 1991, during an appointment to have teeth removed. The boy was born with a medical condition called tricuspic atresia, identified in the documents as a congenital heart defect that results in low oxygen content in his blood and a blue hue to his lips, gums and fingertips.

A medical examiner's report listed the boy's “status post teeth extraction with local anesthesia” as a contributing factor in his death, according to the Arizona board's ruling. His cause of death was listed as complications from heart problems.
