Sick and cruel.

Our government is literally groping our children, demeaning our elderly and stealing our stuff.

Perhaps everyone should all wear adult diapers for the TSA and threaten to make them ripe on the spot if the TSA insists to do a full search... :-)

packrat35 mentioned to me in another thread about how the TSA attempted to take Joe Foss’s Medal of Honor because it has pointy edges.

Want to bet that CMH would have been up for sale on some internet site before the end of the week.

The woman had leukemia meaning she is susceptible
to infection like an open Petri dish.

The TSA uses unclean, repeat used gloves.

Obviously, the goal was NOT to find a terrorist,
but to publicly execute her.

I just finished watching Schindler’s List again and this time I noticed how the Germans started out making little encroachments on freedom. First the Jews were told to leave their houses and were ushered into large cities. (The gathering). Then they were ushered into ghettos. (Further Isolation). Then to the Camp. Then separated by those who could be used vs. those who were to be exterminated.

I see these encroachments of today to be getting bolder and more intrusive everyday. I fear that someday, some societies on this planet will ask the question, “How did 300 million Americans become enslaved to 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, 9 Judges, and 2 Executive officers?”

Perjury by some of them,
Misprision of felony by all of them,
Stroke of the pen by the undocumented impostor,
then Treason by all of them.

The poor lady was 95, in the final stages of leukemia, and TSA can only respond that they were following procedures. I seem to recall a lot of Germans’ defense after WWII was that they were merely following orders.

At some point, I expected higher ups within TSA or HS to say enough is enough. Odds should be that there are a few intelligent folks with some spine in organizations that large that would refuse to continue this abuse of Americans. So far....nothing.

Good reply from uptoolate. I think the analogy is accurate.

And, good reply from Diogenesis. “How did 300 million Americans become enslaved to 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, 9 Judges, and 2 Executive officers?”

I would only add to the list: All the professional associations, industrial and commercial associations, pacs, lobbyists, and unions of public employees.

Everyone who has learned that in this democracy they can vote to make other people give them their money.

Given those facts, their actions cannot be those of an awkward and bungling bureaucracy. They must be deliberate intimidation and exercise of power.

Anybody who gets his jollies out of oggling and groping a terminally ill 95 year old woman needs to be sent to general population in one of out most uncivilized correctional institutions and allowed to share a cell wiith Weird Harold.

Are we going to stand for this people? Why aren’t we rioting in the streets???? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS ABUSE ANYMORE.

Nasty internet people say “Oh, well, why don’t you go DO something whiner?” I even sent some thoughts locally to the guy who was running for mayor of my village unopposed. He sent me an e-mail back saying if I don’t like things in the Village why don’t I DO something about it?! He’s mayor now. I PAY HIS SALARY. I PAY MY TAXES. THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING. AND I VOTE. IT DOESN’T WORK! I spend all my time working a full time job and caring for my elderly parents in my home with me. I get no public assitance though they are trying to force us into it. If this happened to my mother, hell if it happnened to my dog, I’d be ready fight.

Want me to go stand on some corner with a sign? Think I can find other people to stand with me? Who would cover it? What news media? Who would join me? When would I go? During work hours and lose my job and not be able to care for my parents? We are forced into accepting these things? God, how come people haven’t taken to the streets. Our children, our elderly sick parents being molested by the TSA. A communist in the White House! You know what we need to do.

This is outrageous.

The federals are proving to the American citizen that they are in charge, they can do whatever they like and we are powerless to stop it.

Here in Texas, our legislators in special session reintroduced the states TSA anti-groping bill......then did not show up for the vote.

A bunch of yellow bellied cowards!

I could say, if I were present and witnessed something like what is being reported, they'd be hauling me off to jail.

I would have screamed bloody murder and created a scene over something like that.

Your comments are right on the mark.

The federals are simply showing the population who is in control and displaying how powerless WE are to stop it.

Who knows, this may be an attempt to outrage citizens into action so they can begin further clamping down on our liberties.

It's not just the commie in the White House that is the problem, it is both houses of Congress and the judiciary for failing to live up to their oaths of office in protecting the constitution.

Dem or Pub, it makes no difference. If the republicans were truly outraged, they'd pass legislation to shut down the TSA...but they haven’t.

Wow! Now why exactly would they need to remove underwear on a 95 yr old woman!!!!! Sometimes I wonder if these boobs are plants by the Muslim brotherhood to force us to relax our standards. Common sense would tell anyone that this woman was not a threat. It’s a waste of time.

OTOH, I do wonder why the daughter would not be carrying an extra Depends underwear for her mother when travelling. Certainly a mother with a baby would carry extra diapers. However, that’s another subject and not part of this thread!
