Mother Of Child With Cerebral Palsy Says TSA Treated Daughter "Like Osama Bin Laden"

A TSA agent at JFK "started screaming at me and cursing me and threatening me," says a Long Island man who used his cell phone to videotape what he describes as an unnecessarily "aggressive" security screening of his developmentally disabled daughter. Dr. Joshua Frank, a Long Island pediatrician, is the father of Dina Frank, a girl with cerebral palsy who walks with crutches and leg braces. She can't pass through metal detectors for this reason, and is usually patted down by security agents, a procedure that frightens her. And the Frank family tells The Daily that on Monday the procedure was particularly harrowing.

This child abuse by the Obama government TSA agents was supposed to stop after a previous video of TSA groping a little child but Obama’s TSA continues to treat our little children as terrorists.

Unless they gave her complimentary food and drink, I would bet that they treated her much worse than they would have treated Osama Bin Laden.

I post this every time I see a TSA controversy (which is quite often). It is becoming more and more relevant, and less and less humorous each time.

The DHS has made it clear that all American citizens are potential, homegrown terrorists except the terrorists themselves. The TSA is just following along on that belief.

I’ve said it before until people just refuse to fly this will not STOP!

Everyone says, but if we don’t fly that will just hurt the airlines. BS! You think the government could standby and just let the airlines go broke? You think they could continue their fascist reign of terror in the face of such a rebellion?

But instead of standing up against it they continue to line up like sheep and then they want to bahhh about their treatment.

Before Obama, they were Bush’s TSA agents, a ridiculous overreaction to 9/11 that was good for the enemies of freedom, yet has failed to actually catch a hijacker. Disband the TSA, PROFILE all muslim passengers for terror links, and make flying a LITTLE more pleasant!

If these government bs-tards did this to one of my granddaughters and I was there then this old veteran would have to be taken away in handcuffs.

TSA defends pat-down of 4-year-old at Kan. airport

By ROXANA HEGEMAN, Associated Press – 19 hours ago

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.

The incident has been garnering increasing media and online attention since the child's mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration is defending its agents, despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.

This April 14, 2012 photo provided by Lori Croft shows her 4-year-old granddaughter Isabella Brademeyer, in Wichita, Kan., where she was a flower girl at her uncle's wedding. Brademeyer and her mom passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident when the girl ran over to briefly hug her grandmother, Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm. TSA then insisted the girl also undergo a physical pat-down, putting the agency on the defensive despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children. (AP Photo/Lori Croft)

Doubtless saying, oh the kid grabbed some contraband off of the grandma... even if the reason for the grandma setting off the detector became obvious.

Did they even ask for or let the grandma hold the kid’s hand while this was going on (I doubt it)? Little children put through weird situations like this are likely to be behavior problems. Hopefully we will not have to wait until the girl is old enough to vote before there is kickback.

The TSA goons give us some sense of what the Nazis were like. Imagine having to deal with those vile creeps all the time.

Sweet little thing. This BS from these trashy pieces of excrement called the TSA has to stop! It’s about time that parents stop allowing their children to be dealt with like this.

Well, you know, I doubt if the (in)famous Dr. Spock would have recommended the girl be treated that way. Why aren’t screaming liberal child psychologists giving the TSA hell over this?

Coming soon to more highways, football games, so on via TSA “VIPR” teams. Hardly a peep came out of the American sheep at the airports, so the jackboots know they can continue molesting and irradiating us.

While people are justifiably furious at this mistreatment, what is missing is leadership on the issue. Who will organize and lead a boycott? Which State and Federal elected officials will take a position? Which States will outlaw the TSA behavior?

A pumpkin from 30,000 feet is no laughing matter.
