What wasn’t addressed in the reply was the allegation that the TSA agent grabbed the passenger by the throat. This may have been hyperbole, but the article should have covered the followup. That type of behavior is not acceptable other than in a takedown situation and any agent who did that with a cooperating, passive passenger should be removed.

I will not submit.

TSA is part of Homeland Security and they work for Trump. Not suggesting this become one of the top priorities (which it is not), but hopefully the day will come when TSA is privatized with rigorous standards but no government employees or unions.

Have they ever grabbed the underwear of a woman wearing a burka?

Inquiring minds want to know

I doubt that the TSA will make the same claim vis a vis the Muslims.

Thanks for posting this article.

In view of the recent United passenger being forcibly removed after he became disruptive, and the many arguments both for and against him; I thought it was strange that the whole country was focusing all this attention on this small minor incident.

While ignoring the many more worse personal and humiliating violations that tens of thousands of flyers face every day by the goons at the TSA (Touching, Squeezing and Assaulting).

I remember seeing this on the John Byner show in about 1980. It was a chuckle then. Now it's too close to reality to be funny.

(Censored nudity, in case that kind of thing bothers you)

Trump said in his acceptance speech at the Cleveland convention last July something about reigning in the TSA.

Instead, the TSA has gotten worse.

When the TSA first came about, wasn’t it the democrats that came up with the slogan: you don’t professionalize until you Federalize....or something like that as best as I remember...
Made them federal employees and then federal employee union members and then loyal democrat voters.

As my 19-yr old son would say, people with power or authority think they are invincible until you are sitting on their chest outside their place of residence, with both of your thumbs pressed into their eye sockets gouging out their eyes.

Intimate apparel has been a source of concern ever since Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to bring down a plane on Christmas Day 2009 by detonating a bomb hidden in his underwear

Of course using "profiling" to screen the most likely threats would be racist or some such thing... we wouldn't want to offend those who want to kill us.

"...consequences be damned..."


While the righteous indignation makes sense, striking them will only land you in jail.
Better to loudly yell, "Oww! You hurt my genitals! Get me a supervisor while I telephone my attorney!" ;-).

Ah yes. The TSA. 7 billion dollars a year checking your shoes. The largest government make-work program since the Works Projects Administration in the 1930s. Employing the biggest collection of lowlifes and the hard core unemployable and giving these mopes health care and pensions.

A completely unaccountable agency, they answer to no one, proudly refuse to answer and questions and tell congress itself to piss off. And we haven’t the talent in congress to stand up to these sub humans.

Makes me want to go through the live with a hot load in my shorts and gleefully allow them to go groping. Well, I was just divesting myself of my gels! Wanna see me get rid of my liquids and gases too?
