Overview
- Charleston Aviation Authority police say Mace loudly cursed at officers and TSA during an escort to her flight, repeatedly calling them "f—ing incompetent," according to the incident report.
- The report attributes the clash to a logistics error after officers were told to expect a white BMW at 6:30 a.m., while video later showed Mace arriving around 6:50 in a gray or silver BMW and using the Known Crewmember entrance.
- A TSA supervisor and an American Airlines gate agent told officers they were upset by Mace’s behavior, with TSA planning to elevate the matter to superiors, the report states.
- Mace pushed back on X, asserting that members of Congress use the crew access point and posting surveillance clips of her arrival, while disputing claims she was blocked by TSA.
- Her campaign cited heightened threats to explain security procedures as political rivals criticized her conduct, and authorities have not announced any disciplinary steps.
