Whenever we hear the words "congressman" and "groping" in the same sentence (and let's face it, from time to time, we do) our natural assumption is that one of our esteemed federal lawmakers has done something wrong.

Canseco said he brusquely moved the agent's hand away, which led to a security free-for-all, with supervisors being called in.
