Master Sgt. Rhonda Huckelbery, a 25-year veteran, said she has been excused from wearing body armor in the past due to an undisclosed medical condition. She claims the agency gave her several low-level assignments, including her current role as an airport police supervisor, due to her refusal to wear the armor.

The department hasn't commented on the lawsuit, reports WKMG.
