TSA pats down a screaming toddler

You might think a 3-year-old would whiz through security. A child is non-threatening, wears slip-on shoes, and carries little luggage.

Not the case for Mandy Simon who was passing through security with her dad at the airport in Chattanooga, Tenn.

HG, stay off of my thread.

Sean Hannity was defending these procedures. He asked a caller why he objected to being viewed naked by the government, when obviously he got naked in front of his wife. Hannity is one of the stupidest goofballs on the planet.

So where was the outcry when Bush's TSA put the non profiling invasive searches into effect.

You mean the ones that went into effect a couple of weeks ago?

Or the "tests" of the scanners that they swore up and down would never be used as a primary screening technique?

I'm confused. Please educate me as to which "invasive searches" that went into place more than two years ago you refer to. I can't find any that became mandatory for all people.

obama is assisting his Terrorist Pals in their next Terrorist Attack by letting muslim women board planes without a full body scan or a full body search (just a head and neck pat down). Meanwhile he has all the TSA employees distracted with naked scans and fondling of innocent Americans.

grouped or dead? take ur pick

Free or submit (islam)

What's your choice??

[Miss Behave]

Thank you, Dolly.

It's going to get worse, fast now--as to the quality of TSA "agents" because of these new procedures.

Given that these people have to now DO this child fondling and frisking, the DECENT ones will now leave--out OF their decency and respect for children and parents--leaving the Chester the Molester types...and all NEW hires of the same. It's going to downhill fast. The flying public thinks that the TSA employees are bad/marginal NOW...wait a couple of months. The only TSAs left will be SCUM.

How many DECENT people are going to in good conscience grope kids all day? NONE. By DEFINITION.

[Luke21]

Hiya Janet. Zeig heil.

HG, stay off of my thread.

OK, since you asked nicely.

TSA’s new motto; You don’t get on, Until we get off.

Oh sheite, ROTFLMAO!!

Here are my favorites:

Can't see London, can't see France, unless we see your underpants.

Grope discounts available.

If we did our job any better we'd have to buy you dinner first.

Only we know if Lady Gaga is really a lady.

Don't worry, my hands are still warm from the last guy.

Throw a few back at the airport Chili's and you won't even notice.

Wanna fly? Drop your fly.

We've handled more balls than Barney Frank

We are now free to move about your pants

We rub you the wrong way, so you can be on your way.

It's not a grope. It's a freedom pat.

When in doubt, we make you whip it out.

TSA: Touchin', Squeezin', Arrestin'

You were a virgin.

We handle more packages than the USPS

[SandRat]

Men avoid TSA Enhanced Security Inspection problems. Wear Scots Kilts when flying.

LOL!!!

[Gabrial]

“obama has exempted muslim women from scanning and full body pat downs.”

Welcome to Free Republic.

We try and say stuff that is true here.

The CAIR website is inciting Muslims to civil dis-obedience.

There is no Obama “opt-out” for Muslims.

Fly sometime and see.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Nothing like a cool breeze on a hot summer day!

[HIDEK6]

Now TSA is sticking their hands down inside peoples’ underwear and touching their genitals.

There are some places where that kind of treatment will cost you a couple of "C"s.

[Gabrial]

“The opt out for Muslim women has not happened.”

Thank for setting the record straight. I have a feeling this will be one internet myth that will be hard to kill.

Myth my ass. Check your info first before you make a fool of your self:

These people are being set up as Obama’s Civilian ‘Defense Force’ he mistakenly harbinged during his campaign. They won’t stop with airports. They’ll soon infest every mode of transportation and will eventually patrol our streets and neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, etc.

Tick tock. As Obama destroys more and more of the economy, more of these types will gravitate toward TSA "careers". Thus, expansion is inevitable. Sure, it's more work than welfare but getting paid to terrorize the helpless is an irresistible benefit.

There was an interview I saw just today where the TSA head said that no kids younger than 12 would be subjected to this. He lied, of course.

If we sit back and take this stupidity, it will get even worse.

[dr_who]

We’ve lost more than that.
