Father Kevin Payne is outraged after what he has deemed as a line-crossing two-minute pat down of his 10-year-old daughter Vendela by TSA at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The additional security was triggered by a juice pouch Vendela accidentally left in her carry-on bag.
"It was excessive, it was invasive, I was pretty much boiling in my head," he told ABC News. (source)
Payne recorded the pat down on his phone and uploaded the video to YouTube despite the fact that the TSA agent lied and told him that filming was not allowed (it absolutely is).
"While there was a SHOE BOMBER, Agent completely ignores shoes & quickly focuses on my 10 yr old child's buttox, thighs & pelvic areas," Payne wrote in the YouTube video of the incident he uploaded to YouTube.
It's tough to watch the part where it appears the agent is going to lift the girl's shirt. The girl reaches for the hem immediately, a pained look on her face at potentially being undressed in public. The agent pats down her thighs front and back multiple times and around the little girl's breasts.
It really is hard to watch. Her father wrote that he felt like he was watching his 5th grade daughter get assaulted.
And yet, he stood by filming it and watching it happen...
It's a wonder if Americans will ever rise up in mass and simply stop allowing themselves to be subjected to this guilty-until-proven-not-a-terrorist behavior. If everyone across the country simply refused fly for even one whole day to boycott this, it would stop. Instead, our nation's citizens continue to diligently trudge through the airports and subject themselves and their children to be groped and in some cases sexually assaulted by government goons day in and day out.
It's ridiculous, especially considering the TSA has already been found to completely fail at doing its job 95% of the time...
"When government fears the people there is liberty When the people fear the government there is tyranny." John Basil Barnhill, 1914
TSA attracts a disproportionate number of criminals and pedophiles, just as Disneyland does.
Disgusting
What a crock! We're not in danger from that little girl. They keep treating us, the American population, as if we've done something wrong all the while, making sure they (TSA) don't hurt the 'feelings' of any Muslim looking customer.
You know, the very ones that DO want us dead!
Disgusting. I would feel sick to my stomach if I had to watch them do this to my little girl, too!
This is my take.
It is JUST as invasive .....more so as far as I’m concerned.....for this dad to post pictures of his little girl getting her pat down
How’s the pay over at TSA?
If he hadn’t posted the video we’d never know how evil this organization is.
PS I have an 11 yr old granddaughter, and I would not want her to receive an invasive pat down...( she is very modest)
But I would not post her picture either!!!!!
If the father had attempted to stop the pat down and decided to not fly or cancel the trip, they both would be arrested trying to leave the terminal. Once they start you cannot stop them.
You seriously ask that?
...only because I object to the pictures?
I am disappointed in you.
With that long skirt she could be Muslim.
‘Guenevere’ above is part of the problem.
Wonder if ‘whoever’ was attempting to spell Guinevere when deciding upon a handle?
Verify what you just said.
This TSA cr@p Is why I don’t fly.
I drive 1500 miles to see family, even if it takes two days there, and two days back.
Don’t watch it then.
You obviously don’t fly (in airplanes) very often.
I was molested by an Asian screener at the airport a few years back; it was awkward, and this guy wasn’t enjoying it. He was probably considering returning to India when he looked at the next decades of his life here.
At the time I suggested on FR that I should have discretely broken wind so he would be repelled by my “cloud” (like Pig Pen in Peanuts), but an enraged FReeper said we shouldn’t have to be unsanitary to get them to stop these assaults...
BS
Is there video of this same agent even TOUCHING a woman cloaked in a burqa?
“offensive to look me in the eyes!”
“offensive to even consider that I would carry a bomb!”
“offensive to touch my cloaked body!”
CAIR would be on her within an hour.
Again.....Seriously?????
I’m too shocked at your accusations to get angry.
I almost find it laughable.....
....except I don’t.
Why would you say that? It is his daughter getting groped; she doesn’t belong to the “village” (yet). Why should he just bury his head in the sand?
Have not flown since Sept. 2002.
Like you, I drive everywhere. I take what I want, stop when I want, and don’t worry about being poked, prodded, insulted or x-rayed by nincompoops and perverts.
I am sick of Muslims changing my way of life.
15 years of this nonsense is enough. We have to push back against them.
You can’t spell. Your responses to others’ posts I’ve noted are inane.
You’re not worth responding to any longer.
