Woman says her Lambert security screening was sexual assault
KMOV TV ^ | 11-19-10 | KMOV

Posted on 11/19/2010 7:56:23 AM PST by FS11

KMOV) -- More Americans are growing angrier, over what the Transportation Security Administration, admits are more intrusive security put downs at airports.

One woman is comparing her experience at Lambert Airport to a sexual assault.

Moroney explains “Her gloved hands touched my breasts...went between them. Then she went into the top of my slacks, inserted her hands between my underwear and my skin... then put her hands up on outside of slacks, and patted my genitals.”

“I was shaking and crying when I left that room” Moroney says. “Under any other circumstance, if a person touched me like that without my permission, it would be considered criminal sexual assault.”

I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, however I’m smart enough to be able to read the U.S. Code and the case law behind it.

18 U.S.C. Section 2242. should apply in this case, as in all other cases on this matter. It deals with Sexual abuse, and it reads It reads:

“Whoever ... knowingly—

(1) causes another person to engage in a sexual act by threatening or placing that other person in fear..; or

(2) engages in a sexual act with another person if that other person is—
(A) incapable of appraising the nature of the conduct; or
(B) physically incapable of declining participation in, or communicating unwillingness to engage in, that sexual act;
or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for any term of years or for life.”

In case law the question of wether or not any specific touch can be construed as “sexual” in nature has usually been left to context, which might mitigate against it at an airport screening ... except for in cases where sexual organs are handled. In such cases, the touch is deemed to always be sexual, with abuse therefore being determined by the person whose organs are being handled; hence, Title 18 applies.

I suggest demanding to see a police officer and pressing criminal charges under Title 18 U.S.C Section 2242. If the cop won’t respond, get yourself a lawyer and press charges that way. We MUST get a Grand Jury to determine if the law might apply sufficiently so that warrants for arrest can be issued and a criminal proceeding to go forward. Arrest several hundred TSA agents and this molestation will stop,

Thus far I’ve flow several times the past month and have not had my genitalia touched. I have been waiting for that day to press charges under Title 18, but haven’t been able to because the TSA hasn’t been compliant enough to select me for molestation. I guess I’m too ugly.

Just wear a burka and say you will pat yourself down. You will get through with no problem whatsoever.

They will eventually get x ray machines in these other places.

They already have metal detectors in government buildings and court houses. Some sports stadiums do pat downs, but not these more intrusive ones. Disneyland searches purses and back packs.

Eventually, every public place will have these x ray machines. You can count on that. Buses and train passengers will be screened this way too eventually. Some apologists have said that if you don’t like airport security, take the bus or the train. What do you do when these security measures are implemented in trains and buses? What will those apologists say then???

A couple of years ago, I was entering the subway in Boston. It was summer. A transit cop, who shall we say didn’t look like me, called me over with a “Hey, you!” I looked in his direction and he waved a finger. He then said he wanted to check my bag (lap top size bag). It is the subway of a major city, plenty of people, why me? I asked. He said “It’s your lucky day.” Nice customer skills. I looked around and teens with oversized hooded sweaters (remember, a summer day) and tattooed necks weren’t bothered. I looked back to see if anyone else was being checked (an older woman was next) then the cop asked me “do you have a problem?” as he called her aside. All I did was look and I was told this. Then, a second cop gave me a paper about random searches being conducted. It’s coming eventually.

Correct ... and if they do that, it goes to a court with a jury. Sounds like FUN, with counter suits and counter chargers, etc. Sounds like a LOT of fun. I loved the “Don’t Touch my Junk” guy’s response to that ... “bring it on.” In his case, especially ... they ESCORTED HIM OUT OF THE AIRPORT, so of course he left with permission. To say otherwise is just asinine sour grapes on the part of the TSA.

“Then she went into the top of my slacks, inserted her hands between my underwear and my skin.”

Leno had a bit last night called “Romance Novel or Passenger Complaint against TSA”. A portion of a complaint like the one above was read out loud and the audience decided by applause if statement was from a Romance Novel or a TSA complaint.

yes! Demand on the spot from federal TSA immediately, if you have been molested, to have the -—local-—police summoned, and make an official charge then and there and file it with the police.

I suggest that you contact your County DA and demand that he prosecute BO & BS’ TSA Perverts for sexual assault.

Indeed! This is an example of a DA being willing to apply Title 18, section 2242. I think we’re going to see a LOT more of this. If we can’t get at Big Sis and her little brother, who runs the TSA, we can get at the goons who do the dirty deed.

Ok, I know this is a bit gross, but it has been on my mind. There are people who have a fairly large belly that creates an overhang. If you opt for the pat down, do the TSA agents lift this up and feel under there? Because that overhang can hold something very easily. I know because my sister has done just that - but not to conceal anything illegal. Forget body cavities, what about creases and folds? They will figure this out eventually. As for my family, we are done flying. Our son is headed to Texas for Thanksgiving and he is taking Greyhound!

Based upon what we’ve heard in the past the TSA has, in such cases where passengers are causing trouble, threatened to summon and have actually summoned airport security and/or local police. Since this is a violation of the U.S. Code, one might also want to have them call the FBI. They would also have jurisdiction.

What I want to know is why was it necessary to touch the skin instead of the undies? Does not make sense.

Yes by all means contact your local Sheriff and DA and demand that they prosecute BO & BS’ TSA Perverts.

Yes, they do. At least, that’s what I’ve been told since I’ve never been subjected to such an intensive pat-down. What I think should be remembered, however, that some of those creases and folds are often VERY ticklish and are also sometimes found in erogenous zones.

Oh, fun!

Are you not aware of BO & BS’ sexual orientation? This policy only makes sense to sexual perverts.
