A second senior citizen is claiming the Transportation Security Administration made her pull down her pants as part of a search at Kennedy Airport.

Ruth Sherman, 88, of Sunrise, Fla., told WCBS/Channel 2 that agents were suspicious about her colostomy bag. She says they asked her to pull down the waist of her pants so they could see it on Nov. 28.

Sherman said she decided to come forward after hearing about the case of 85-year-old Lenore Zimmerman.

Zimmerman says TSA agents made her take off her pants last Tuesday. Both searches occurred at the JetBlue terminal.

Sherman did not answer telephone calls to her home yesterday.
