Did Airport Security Really Grope Morrisey’s Junk?

This August, during his first televised interview in nearly a decade, usually reclusive pop-icon Morrissey reiterated his allegation to Larry King that an airport security officer at San Francisco International Airport had groped his genitals during a pat-down.

The next day, the TSA denied any wrongdoing in a statement to Rolling Stone:

“TSA takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and strives to treat every passenger with dignity and respect. Upon review of closed circuit TV footage, TSA determined that the supervised officer followed standard operating procedures in the screening of this individual.”

Those “trusty” sleuths at Gawker have obtained all of the available footage and have broken it down minuter by minute …

 
And from at every angle …

 
They created 10 plus animated .gifs and posted all of the footage which you can see here.

So, take a look and you tell me … was Morrisey actually groped — or he was he groping for a good story?
