As an airline employee, I'm not always a big fan of the way security companies run the checkpoints. However, I'm pretty certain I would have heard if this were true, and since I haven't heard anything at all ... couldn't find anything on Google or on CNN.com ... I would chalk it up to urban legend.
I don't doubt that security employees allow their personal prejudices to influence whom they search. There are stories about Muslim women being asked to remove their head coverings, for example. And I can easily see an obnoxious guy grabbing an extra feel when he's wanding. I just don't think that this *particular* story is true.
Also, keep in mind that the security lines are NOT staffed by airline employees but by private companies that don't pay much and overwork their employees or (nowadays in some places) by government employees. If this story is true, she may have been on a Delta flight, but the security employees were not Delta, unless she was selected for secondary screening at the gate, in which case they *might* have been.
