A mother who asked TSA agents at DFW International Airport for alternative screening for her son with special needs said they were "treated like dogs" and forced to miss a flight during an extensive security check, according to her Facebook post that has since gone viral.

But the Transportation Security Administration said in a prepared statement that it followed approved procedures to "resolve an alarm of the passenger's laptop."

Jennifer Williamson wrote Sunday morning that her son has a sensory processing disorder and that she asked agents to "screen him in other ways per TSA rules."

Not one single reporter in any interview orat a rally, and not one single member of the public at a Town Hall meetin, ever asked Trump if the TSA should be disbanded or scaled back. As time went on, every time Trump went on Hannity, I would say ASK HIM ABOUT TSA.

Not one mention of it in a years time.

You know folks, it took years for all this misery done to the American people. Trump has everyone fighting him and he has to work very hard and fight tooth and nail. I am sure he will try to get to it sometime.

I have an autistic grandson, so I have some experience with the matter, both personally and watching my daughter and wife in their interactions with him. Those posters who have criticized the mother in this case for her reaction to this probably have little or no experience with a child with this condition, so I expect I would have to cut them some slack.

But I will say those posters sound like a significant portion of the TSA agents act. Have a nice day!

Roofing tar and ground up styrofoam packing peanuts should do just fine in today’s world.

“Give a badge and a little authority to certain people and this is what happens .... Not “unexpected” behavior.”

Exactly, look at the possum cops in most states. They have more authority than most other LEO’s, and hold it over you head if they have a chance.
No fishing license? It’s off to the gulag for you!!! Forty lashes!!
They probably would keel haul you if they caught you with too many perch!
And more than 3 shells in your shotgun? Felony with malicious amputation thrown in for good measure!!

I fly for work - have seen kids with sensory issues (common to autistic kids) freak out, followed by the TSA agents freaking out - and it spirals out of control.
My daughter has ASD and we will not fly with her - if we can't drive we don't go.

Best way to breeze through security is make sure you fertilize your lawn just before you go to the airport... ;-)

These glorified rent-a-cops get on power trips and make excuses to do what this guy did. I watched the video. This is what the founders fought to put a stop to.

When some angry parent decides to kill someone like this, if I am on the jury that parent will be acquitted.

And men like that, who abuse their authority, belong in prison.

And I’m hoping for a few million more Americans to share my sentiment.

You can purchase pine tar at a feed sfore. Down pillows most anywhere.

Wonderful position to be a pedophile.

Sorry, but America asked for it after the false flag 9/11 ... Patriot Act was in the wings and rolled out ASAP while no one was thinking.

Tell me where would we get that kind of tar? They don’t tar the outside of ships like they used to. As for getting the feathers, even harder now with PETA, where would we get that much?

I think sturdy rope is available at Loews.

This is complete and total BS. The mother is flat out lying. The kid had a pat down because the mother refused to let him go through the routine screening machine.

The video of the pat down is right here. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article141064443.html

The kid was politely and professionally handled at each step along the way. He was told exactly what would happen. He was not “traumatized” in any way. Watch him in the video.

The kid does not have a mental problem as the mother claims. The mother does. The bottom line is she has made her kid the laughing stock of his schoolmates because she wanted to have her 2 minutes of “fame.”

We have become a crybaby nation. If anyone thinks that was “terrorism” or “horrifying” needs to spend 20 minutes in any junior high school boys’ gym locker room, the ‘Hood on Saturday night, anywhere in the Middle-east, or a heck of a lot longer than 20 minutes on a shrink’s couch.

Well come on, a lot of white boys have hijacked and flown planes into buildings as well as 94 year old ladies in wheelchairs which is why we must not profile Muslims.

Well come on, a lot of white boys have hijacked and flown planes into buildings ...

LOL! And he had sympathy for Bin Laden, but hey - no connection to Islam!! Don’t show that story to liberals because we will never hear the end of it.
