Frank taped the encounter, which ended when a supervisor inspected her crutches and let them pass. But agents followed up and insisted upon doing a full inspection of Dina.

Ultimately, the family missed their flight.

I find it absolutely nauseating to read posts by bootlickers that defend TYRANNY of any sort. The whole DHS & TSA needs to be completely DISBANDED. The fact that anyone can defend ANY of it makes me want to puke.

Those before us would not sit on their hands while permitting government agencies, under the color of authority, to bully, insult and arrogantly abuse both physically and mentally the American Citizen.

Those before us would have left the airports deserted monuments to governmental stupidity...

The real culprits are those who continue to pay for the priveledge of being patted down.

Short of revolution, vote with your feet.
