Police Report Says Nancy Mace Berated Airport Officers and TSA at Charleston Checkpoint

The FOIA-released file spurred Mace to argue she used a standard crew checkpoint under heightened security concerns.

Overview

  • Charleston Aviation Authority police say Mace cursed at officers and TSA after a planned escort missed her arrival, with the report quoting her calling them "f***ing incompetent."
  • Officers were waiting for a white BMW but later found via video that Mace arrived in a gray or silver BMW before heading to the Known Crewmember entrance.
  • A TSA supervisor, identified in reports as Johnny Lynch, told officers he was upset and would submit a report, and an American Airlines gate agent expressed disbelief at her behavior.
  • Mace posted on X that members of Congress use the crew access point, accused Attorney General Alan Wilson of spying on her, and her campaign cited increased threats to justify security procedures.
  • TSA and American Airlines did not immediately comment, and officials have not disclosed any disciplinary action as the incident continues to be reviewed.
