In America, this would be dealt with by patriots with pitchforks, tar and feathers.
That America is long gone.
i do not and will not fly.
This is to train us to be sheep. Trump, where are you?
Can you imagine what we’d have been saying if the Cold War USSR did this to its citizens? We’d have rightly gone nuts about it.
What happened? (And don’t blame Obama. This has been building up since Ruby Ridge).
Give a badge and a little authority to certain people and this is what happens .... Not “unexpected” behavior.
I have no doubt “Mom” is a huge drama queen. That being said WTF is wrong with these asshats at the TSA?
this is just another crazy, oversensitive mom
The TSA screener is a PERVERT! He was groping that kid’s crotch like Rosie O’Donnell sqeezing a jelly donut! That was not a search. It was molestation! Seriously. If you haven’t seen it.....beyond the pale.
If it were my son. I’d have tackled the PERVERT and I don’t know what else...
I used to have to fly several times a year to go to meetings. No longer, since I retired. I’ll never fly again.
TSA fails to catch 80% of the contraband during tests. But that kid sure looked like he had something to hide.
Just tell the airlines they can do whatever they want to make sure their planes are flying safely.
Stop wasting $billions on airport security for the 0.00001% change one person is trying to slip something into the luggage today
If I owned a plane and sold plane rides, I would check every single thing going on MY plane before I took off - and I would check certain military aged males of a certain religion twice.
I watched the video, expecting to be horrified. It annoyed me, but it certainly didn’t horrify me. Obviously, this child wasn’t concealing weapons, and I don’t know how many times his arm pits needed to be massaged, but beyond all that, it seems to be a waste of two minutes. My biggest beef is that TSA would NEVER be allowed to subject a moose-lum to this sort of physical examination. Can you imagine some burka-clad witch allowing TSA to feel her up? CAIR would have a lawsuit filed before the pat-down was over. We’ve already seen what the flying imams did, and TSA doesn’t mess with them now. The last group of people who don’t have grievance lawyers on retainer are normal, heterosexual, white people.
Creepy old faggot....
This is typical bitchy mother BS. My son is so “special” that when he sets off the alarm, you shouldn’t check him. The cops were there because mother made such a scene.
Do I like the TSA checks, no. I love them because I got TSA pre check and I sail through every time, while everyone else waits, and although far from perfect, when was the last time an A/C was hijacked in America?
Anyone who spends time bitching about TSA should get a real life, especially the woman from a few weeks ago who was sooooo offended.
Life is NOT expected to be 100%. Take the B+ and run with it.
Traumatized is what this mom did to her son by sending this video viral and even on TV!!!!!!!!
How will the traumatized young man deal with his friends seeing him?????
She could have dealt with this differently!
Americans willing to tolerate this sort of thing have lost all moral compass.
So they accommodated her by granting her request, and she's still whining.
Actually, it sounds like the laptop triggered the bomb sniffing machine. I had a colleague get 'the treatment' after he triggered the machine one trip. I always worry when I get the hand swabs - lots of things will give a false positive, and the experience won't be pleasant. I came really close to getting 'the treatment' in Germany one time.
I watched the video. The “agent” should be arrested. He was getting his jollies feeling up a little boy. He should be whipped then arrested. Or vice versa.
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.
But I will say those posters sound like a significant portion of the TSA agents act. Have a nice day!
