Early Wednesday morning, a computer glitch shut down a security checkpoint for a couple of hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport.
Claire Hirschkind, 56, who says she is a rape victim and who has a pacemaker-type device implanted in her chest, says her constitutional rights were violated. She says she never broke any laws. But the Transportation Security Administration disagrees.

It's unfortunate that that happened and she didn't get to fly home, but it makes me feel a little safer, BAAAA!!!"
I've been reading 3 or 4 of the TSA molester stories a day for several months now. And every single one, I mean EVERY one that gets the "man on the street" opinion of it has nothing but supporters of this quoted.
Am I supposed to believe this is an unbiased, random sampling and that the media isn't just a propaganda arm of the government? Right.
So you are better then every MF who served this country?I still have a military ID. What’s your problem?
So you should use your veterans preference to get a job with the TSA so that you can say ‘Your papers, bitte’ to all of those folks who you want to make get one of your ‘national id’ cards.
I cannot believe that the other passengers interviewed both sided with the TSA. As I am more and more convinced, it was a nice run, but this experiment in individual liberty and personal responsibility is done.
The creation of privileged classes is contrary to the spirit of the United States. It is not a government for the convenience of the few. Please keep your comments public.
Invisible hand, do you see how extensive the problem yet, how deep the infection? You’re out of touch, FRiend. Even freepers think you’re obsolete and you’re speaking a dead language. You’ll probably need the full T (taze, trank, tag) to be properly microchipped and even then I think you will need to be monitored round-the-clock until Organ Harvest Day (the soon-to-be federal holiday). Big brother be watching you, buddy!

The Obsolete Man
When a person thinks they are better then our military, who all have ID cards- I have no use for them. I am not on Iranian.com. I am not into bashing Catholics.
you think you're on a roller-coaster, but it's really a slippery slope.
This is like forcing the rape victim to be compliant and go back and allow herself to be the victim of sexual assault again.
Whatever happened to protecting those who need protecting the most? We all know this has nothing to do with keeping anyone safe from Islamic terrorists, but rather further desensitizing the American public to these government goon's atrocities.
