Thank Islam for this.
That and feckless government.
Its why i havent flown for 16+ years. TSA is glorified baggage handlers given a sewn on badge. The ones you would,deal with, are almost all on the lower half of the bell curve and need both hands nd no talking, to find their own a$$holes.
The author seems well forewarned of this type of search. Maybe she didn’t think it would ever happen to her.
A news item from 2 days ago was that TSA people handled the importation of 20 TONS of Cocaine into the USA.
I remember that it was not Miami, as some might expect.
Always report any non-appropriate behavior during a TSA search to the Shift Supervisor.
I’ve done it three times.
Be professional, detailed and not angry.
One crazy probably got fired.
The other got a talking to.
Remember, many of these people couldn’t find a job anywhere else and have probably been fired once before.
It is a wonder that some passenger of the millions that have had this happen to them hasn’t completely flipped out and tried to kill the Agent doing this.
I hate the TSA.
They are effin frauds possessing the bare intellectual capacity of 3rd graders.
I have been searched and had a faggot put his hands down my sweat pants about two months after 911.
I was pretty pisses and called out to the police, who came over.
I explained this midget clown kept wanting to feel me up.
They said they had seen what the guy was doing and urged him to continue his job without any further attempts of what they described as possible sexual assault or they would arrest him.
One LEO slapped me on the shoulder and bid me a good trip.
The faggot waved me off and I never saw him again.
I offer to pay them to do that to me each time I go through security......
Sometimes I fly just to get groped....
What bothers me the most is they use the same gloves, possibly spreading disease.
My fury at the results of your story was quite interesting. I have had the same problem. In my case due to a double mastectomy, special interest has always been on my flat chest which they must run their hands over numerous times in order to “Know it is flat” and not a big elastic bandaid 9or so one told me!).
My solution? As soon as I am in line I unbutton my shirt completely and open it up. I take off my shoes and as I approach the little group I start to take off my jeans or skirt. I keep my face totally flat. I say nothing. I just disrobe.
You would be surprised how quickly my “inspection” is finished. I anyone were to treat me again as you have been treated I truly think I will scream “rape, rape, rape—get her off of me!” I don’t care if I go to jail. I will not allow it to go “unseen” again.
I have two total knee replacements. Even though I have TSA precheck I have to go thru the big scanner and always a full body pat down. It seems to me they could just scan my knees with a hand wand......
My husband was randomly selected for a search several years ago. After being felt up and down at the screening point, they also called him when he got to the gate and he had to take off his shoes and searched again. Mind you, he had over 2 million miles on American Airlines alone and over a decade of traveling frequently!!! Happily, he doesn’t travel much more than once a year now. With the spread of Islam, even as airport employees, traveling isn’t really fun any longer as you pay to be herded from one place to another.
I am really sorry to read about your experience.
I stopped flying with my daughters when they started using the “nudie” microwave scanners in the airports. I did file complaints...with the TSA and with the airlines. I would encourage you to do the same. Otherwise, they assume that we are compliant sheep, bleating in line, but accepting of their assaults and delays.
I did start flying again when they replaced the scanners with the “gumby” versions. It’s not really better, but at least the pervs aren’t getting a free look.
I would make a complaint with your local rep in Congress, too. It’s INSANE that they get paid to do what would land folks in JAIL if done at other locations and without the crappy blue shirt.
Again, sorry you had to go through that.
Geez after that TSA at least owed her dinner and drinks
Maybe flowers
I have never heard Trump say he would disband the TSA. That would have been my question at any campaign town hall. “Mr. Trump, will you disband the TSA and allow airports to use their own security that does not involve checking the diapers of babies diapers and the wheelchairs of paraplegic octogenarians. What will you do about the near strip searching and sexual assaults being conducted by the current TSA?”
My wife I had a similar experience with the Orlando TSA. We were two older white people standing in a very long very “multicultural” line. There were many younger people who would cause most others to cross to the other side of the street if they were walking toward you after dark.
Yet the ones they pulled from line and had strip down to our underwear were my wife and I. We were both clean and neatly dressed and do not look threatening in any way. My assumption is that we looked like we would put up the least amount of resistance of all the people in line.
I can share that I have been present during lots of pat downs while working with the police. I have never seen pat downs with the police that were as intrusive as what my wife and I experienced. It was disturbing.
As if that young man and his mother would actually be planning a terrorist act.
I have also seen hijab-wearers get a smooth pass through without being "handled" in any way.
Friday, at a foreign airport, I was directed to walk through a walk through scanner, with my belt and big silver buckle, harness boots and everything in my pockets, my laptop and tablet in a backpack and thought it was a preliminary scan, but then got on a plane and came home.
Poo... welcome to the world of the little people ...
what makes you so special ???
Ive had that happen to me and I didn’t have any “alerts”
