TikTok influencer left in tears after TSA agents ‘humiliated' her over simple mix-up: ‘I felt so embarrassed'
A teary-eyed social media influencer recounts how 'rude' TSA employees allegedly yelled over a simple mix-up as she went through security check-in, leaving her mortified.
Jos, also known as nnnnylsoj to her 1.8 million TikTok followers, posted a video Saturday about how she mistakenly checked in the wrong bag at Austin International Airport before boarding her flight to London, prompting her to tell a woman TSA agent about the issue.
The 21-year-old TikToker says the woman TSA agent took her through the check-in line to 'go ahead and switch your bag out' and told her to come through the priority line to check in once she's done.

However, this is where things took an awkward and embarrassing turn.
After switching the bags, Jos said she walked over to the priority check-in line like she was told, where a different male TSA agent started yelling at her for being on the wrong line.

Jos explained that the other agent told her to come through the priority line after switching her bag — and even pointed at the woman agent who told her to do so for backup, but it only made things go from bad to worse.
'She turns around and she goes, 'No, no, I said go through normal TSA,' whatever it's called,' the influencer recalled.
Jos claims that when the original woman TSA agent who helped her with the bag issue didn't back up her claim, the other employees, who were all male, started 'making fun' of her and left her feeling humiliated.

'I just got quiet because that is so embarrassing,' Jos told her followers as she sobbed to the camera.
But the ordeal continued to get worse for the TikToker.
Jos said she was now going through security and putting her stuff in the bin to be checked, but it wasn't pushed enough to move through the machine.
She then claims a bunch of the male TSA employees 'all start yelling' and noticed the woman employee who initially helped her 'laughing.'

'And the girl in the f–king jacket starts laughing, and she's like, 'Oh my Gosh, y'all are yelling at her so much!'' the influencer painstakingly recalled.
'Like, f–king pick me ass b–ch. Like a f–king female in a group of men.'

Jos, already embarrassed, pushed the bin herself, and the agents all allegedly condescendingly said to her, 'Now you can have a fun trip,' after stressing her out and calling her out on the spot in front of other travelers.
'Like, why are y'all being rude? I'm just a sensitive person, but that was so mean,' the teary-eyed influencer questioned at the end of the video.
'I felt so embarrassed. I felt so stupid. I literally felt humiliated.'
While the experience may have left the young TikToker in tears, her devoted followers were there to have her back in the comments of the video, which garnered over 2.5 million views and nearly 400k likes since being posted.
