HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Actress Gabrielle Union said she required a patdown at an airport because her "weave got 'flagged' " by security.
The "Good Deeds" star, 39, tweeted about the Wednesday incident, saying her "weave got 'flagged' by the body scan at security," the New York Daily News reported Saturday.

"No lie. TSA required a hair patdown," she added. "If human hair and thread sets off the body scanner, a lot of folks just ended up on the 'watch list.' "
Union, who dates NBA star Dwayne Wade, was allowed to board the plane after a patdown.
"Hopefully my weave doesn't cause turbulence," she joked on Twitter. "It's clearly very powerful."
