Since then, TSA spokesman Mike England has released a statement as obtained by the Guardian saying: "TSA takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and strives to treat every passenger with dignity and respect".
Further investigations were taken: "Upon review of closed circuit TV footage, TSA determined that the supervised officer followed standard operating procedures in the screening of this individual," England continues: "During the screening process, if an anomaly is detected, secondary screening is required to ensure the passenger does not have threat items, such as explosives, concealed under clothing."
The Transport Security Administration is an agency tied to the US Department of Homeland Security who have narrowly escaped the vices of the Pope of Mope.

The original statement involved a recreation of the dialogue between Moz's people and the security that occurred after the alleged assault:
You have just sexually groped this man.
Officer: That's just your opinion.
What you have done is illegal.
Officer: That's just your opinion.
You have no right to do what you have just done.
Officer: That's just your opinion.
Morrissey reported: "Apart from 'that's just your opinion', he would not comment, even though, since the penis and testicles were mine and no one else's, then my opinion must surely have some meaning. But, of course, what the airport security officer was saying was: your opinion will never count in the eyes of the law."
