Glenn Beck: Shirtless little boy patted down by the TSA has autism
Hotair ^ | 11/24/2010 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 11/24/2010 12:05:31 PM PST by WebFocus

Glenn Beck had Luke Tait, the college student who took the infamous video of the TSA agent doing a pat down of the shirtless little boy, on his show this morning to discuss the incident at the airport. During the interview, Beck said that he learned from a ‘refounder’ (Congressional insider) that the little boy didn’t actually set off the metal detectors as the TSA reported, but rather the boy had on a baggy shirt that caught the attention of the TSA and thats why they wanted to do a pat down. Beck said he also learned a detail that hasn’t been reported yet, that the little boy has autism.

Those two details, if true, certainly put this in a different light than the TSA reported. It would also better explain why the agents tried to intimidate Tait into deleting the video, as he describes in the interview.

So I guess we should all give kudos to the TSA for helping protect America from an innocent little autistic boy with a baggy shirt. Great Job TSA!

Videos will soon be banned. It will be intimidation of TSA.

Tait said he was confronted by a man in a black suit who asked that he delete the video, TSA says this never happened, no on approaced Tait, however, an insider at TSA confirmed that what Tait said is true.

OK now I’m really mad. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. Yesterday there was a post about a man who refused both the molestation and the backscatter scan. He stayed calm the whole time, but stood his ground. After 2.5 hours the TSA let him go. Judge Napalitano(sp) says it’s against the law for the government to do anything to you that is criminal. And then he quoted a law but, sure wish I could remember what it was. 4th amendment maybe? Civil liberties? Just can’t remember :(
Pistole should be fired and sued by everyone that had this done to them.

Is this the same kid that was at the Salt Lake City Airport?

Did he miss his flight?

No. He was arriving from an international flight, Paris to Cincinatti. TSA screens people ARRIVING from an international flight. Go figure.

Yes, he was citing the 4th amendment, which (should) protect us from searches without probable cause.

"Videos will soon be banned. It will be intimidation of TSA."

I made that remark to a coworker just this morning. It will be couched in security saying that no video or photos are permitted to be taken in airports. Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

Our government is showing its Illuminati content in the training of adults by means of coercive shame to submit and be obedient, and by targeting children. Pedophilia is rampant among the world rulers.

...video of the TSA agent doing a pat down of the shirtless little boy...

TSA agents touch little children.

Beck said that he learned from a ‘refounder’ (Congressional insider) that the little boy didn’t actually set off the metal detectors as the TSA reported, but rather the boy had on a baggy shirt that caught the attention of the TSA and thats why they wanted to do a pat down.

TSA agents lie.

It would also better explain why the agents tried to intimidate Tait into deleting the video, as he describes in the interview.

TSA agents try to cover their tracks.

So I imagine my little 5 year old granddaughter, wearing a baggy top, being forced to endure this, from a stranger, in public, while I am made to quietly stand there....... under the threat of arrest and an $11,000 fine.

I wish you flying folks luck. I know that even on a good day, I flat could not stand for this. I know that my mouth would very likely get me fined the $11K and maybe even arrested. My personal life would be destroyed.

Before Obama, stress came to visit us from time to time, that’s just life, but since his reign began, it’s been EVERY SINGLE frigging day, sometimes several times a day that we are pushed, pushed and pushed again.

The corrupt bastard, Obama, is a one man—country wrecking—invader, intent on stealing our Liberty and way of life, while destroying our country.

I think I better just shut up.......
