The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) closed its investigation into a complaint from singer Diana Ross.
On Sunday, Ross, 75, tweeted that she felt "violated" by a TSA agent at a New Orleans airport.
Ross claimed that the agent at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport "was over the top" and made her "want to cry," writing, "It's not what was done but how. I am feeling violated — I still feel her hands between my legs, front and back (saying to me 'it [is] her job')."
