TSA and sexual assault

This is a pretty sad story. It seems to me that the one guilty of sexual assault is the TSA agent, not the passenger. And why, exactly, does this fellow need to be "thrown to the ground"? Why not treat him as what he is, a victim of bureaucratic incompetence and government overreach? Or why not just hand him a Kleenex or two and move on to the next victim ... I mean customer.

Addendum: I was fooled.

Thanks to Daniel Marcin for the correction.
