Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy‘s pregnant daughter unleashed her fury on the Transportation Security Administration on Thursday after she was subjected to a pat-down and delayed before her flight.
In a lengthy post on X, Evita Duffy-Alfonso bashed security in airports over her treatment on the way to her flight.
“I nearly missed my flight this morning after the TSA made me wait 15 minutes for a pat-down because I’m pregnant and didn’t feel like getting radiation exposure from their body scanner. The agents were passive-aggressive, rude, and tried to pressure me and another pregnant woman into just walking through the scanner because it’s ‘safe.’ After finally getting the absurdly invasive pat-down, I barely made my flight,” Duffy-Alfonso complained.
“All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job,” she added.
The daughter of the transportation secretary bemoaned that she was “treated like a terrorist” in her country, described modern American air travel as “brought to you by George Orwell,” and criticized the taking of biometric data.
“The ‘golden age of transportation’ cannot begin until the TSA is gone,” she concluded, in an apparent swipe at the Trump administration.
When another user pointed out that her father ran the Department of Transportation, Duffy-Alfonso responded that the TSA was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, then appeared to take a swipe at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“He isn’t in charge of TSA. TSA is under DHS, which is run by Kristi Noem. If he did have TSA, he’d radically limit it and lobby Congress to abolish it,” she said of her father.

In a separate post, Duffy-Alfonso directly tagged Noem and President Donald Trump, requesting they “pls abolish” the TSA.
TSA was established after 9/11 to prevent future terrorist attacks. Almost since its inception, it’s been the subject of widespread criticism from travelers due to the extra time spent at airports navigating security checks.
