Trump Transport Goon's Nepo Baby Has TSA Meltdown

Source: Daily Beast

Published Dec. 18 2025 6:55PM EST


Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s daughter is branding the TSA an “unconstitutional” agency after receiving a pat-down that she requested. Evita Duffy-Alfonso, the eldest of Duffy’s nine children with wife Rachel Campos, claims the agency nearly made her miss her flight despite not showing up to the airport early enough and knowing she would require extra security.

“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,” she complained on social media. “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. All this for an unconstitutional agency that isn’t even good at its job,” she continued.

Duffy-Alfonso, 26, then claimed that her experience “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,” she posted. “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 Daily Beast has reached out to the TSA for comment.

Get to the airport earlier, and you won't have to worry about how long TSA takes but rather how long Starbucks or whatever coffee shop the other side of security is going to take.

Yeah I have gripes with the TSA, but I don't see their need to be disbanded.

After you cross a Sean Duffy with a Rachel Campos the result is a new generation of A-holes!

Baby-maker.

I just looked him up and he ended up replacing David Obey in WI after the 2010 election, when Obey didn't run for reelection (a (D) whose name I haven't heard in a long time), and came in with the teabaggers.

He was apparently also a lumberjack in his younger days and I must must must give a nod to Monty Python on that!!!

It seems highly improbable that this one will ever achieve the maturity of a 12-year-old, despite finding herself pregnant.
