Evita Duffy-Alfonso, the daughter of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, called the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) an “unconstitutional agency” after a recent flight experience. “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,” she explained. “All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job. Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I’d handed over my biometric data to a random private company (CLEAR). Then I could enjoy the special privilege of waiting in a shorter line to be treated like a terrorist in my own country,” Duffy-Alfonso continued. “Is this freedom? Travel, brought to you by George Orwell—and the privilege of convenience based solely on your willingness to surrender biometric data and submit to radiation exposure? The ‘golden age of transportation’ cannot begin until the TSA is gone,” she concluded.

DHS and DOT also did not respond to inquiries from The Hill. Duffy-Alfonso responded to an X user’s comment noting her connection to the Transportation secretary and suggesting, “Perhaps you should run this by him.” “He isn’t in charge of TSA. TSA is under DHS, which is run by Kristi Noem,” Duffy-Alfonso responded, referring to the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. “If he did have TSA, he’d radically limit it and lobby Congress to abolish it.” Sean Duffy’s daughter calls for govt to abolish TSA after ‘invasive pat-down’ at airport https://t.co/mhDJhsfGEm pic.twitter.com/jVo8PCWvr7 — New York Post (@nypost) December 18, 2025 Last month, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced an investment of more than $1 billion into TSA security checkpoints across the United States. Homeland Security To Invest $1 Billion In TSA Security Checkpoints, Kristi Noem Announces Noem made the announcement during a press conference at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. “We as the Department of Homeland Security are going to be investing over $1 billion in new technology and new advancements in the security systems at security checkpoints in airports across the country,” Noem said. Noem said it’s the biggest investment in screening technologies “in over a decade.” “We know that it is our responsibility not just to keep travelers safe, but also to make sure that we’re getting them to their locations and to their destinations safely,” she continued.

Her husband, Michael Alfonso, is running for Congress in Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District, the seat Sean Duffy held for nearly a decade. Duffy-Alfonso also took aim at the CLEAR program that allows passengers to bypass long waits at the security lines, calling it outrageous that travelers be asked to sign up for a private service to avoid the routine hassle at the TSA checkpoints. “TSA = unreasonable, warrantless searches of passengers and their property. That means it violates the Fourth Amendment and is therefore unconstitutional. Pls abolish @realDonaldTrump @Sec_Noem,” Duffy-Alfonso wrote in a separate post.
