So what they are saying here is that they are profiling people in wheel chairs.

“Wheelchairs trigger certain protocols, including pat-downs and possible swabbing for explosives, Koshetz said”

But not Muslims.

I sure am glad I don’t have to fly.

Hmmm.

Everybody but Muslims complain about these invasive searches. I take it to mean they must like getting searched, right?

Such a terrible indignity for a journalist of Ms. Walters' stature.

Janet Napolitano is definitely one weird chick if she wants to do her patdowns on the elderly infirm.

If she were just your ordinary rapist we'd be saying "Just what possessed that man", but she's a cabinet secretary, and that leaves us saying "just what possessed that man" (Obama).

It's his and Michele's fault.

I think they like hearing about these stories ~ probably have live video feeds from the events ~ just like that crazy guy he put in charge of BATF.

The job of TSA is to find those who would be a threat — obviously we have to fear that a poor 95-year old woman might blow up the airplane... (/sarcasm, of course)

In the meantime Muslim woman are not required to remove their headscarves, so as not to offend them...

Screening has become an exercise in political correctness and has all the weird, holier than thou overtones, such as “we must molest the 95 year olds and 4 year olds just as thoroughly as 20 yr. Old Somali Muslims, just to show we may be damn stupid, but not racists.

It's a shame we don't have a law protecting people from such intrusions. A great writer might phrase it like this:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

“Sari Koshetz, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration in Miami, said she could not comment on specific cases to protect the privacy of those involved.”
What a crock! The individuals concerned are blathering to the press. There is no privacy concern on their part.

Koshetz said the procedures are the same for everyone to ensure national security.

By all means, do whatever is necessary to protect us from 95 year old cancer patients in wheelchairs.

The problem is that the 20 yo Somali Muslims are not getting searched. The bulk of those being groped are white elderly or children judging from the horror stories which abound. If that majority was any other group the TSA woudl have already been shut down.

Hey, come on! Those elderly, White, female, terrorists in diapers can pose a heckuva threat...

Lucky for us, the TSA doesn’t bother with young Arab males; they might expend more energy than they have, and then we’d be back to being victimized by those Oldsters in diapers.

The TSA has professional standards to maintain.

Can’t anyone say it? I will: This is insane. This is a different country than the one I grew up in. This is insane.

Agree. Complete, total, brain-dead insanity.

Welcome to the world of Obama and the complacent society that stands for this sh---.

Remember, Citizens...

nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America, nobama is the Destroyer.

Everything nobama does is intentional.

God help us all.

“I don’t understand why they have to put them through that kind of procedure,”

BECAUSE THEY CAN!
