Aren't TSA workers now unionized?

Could you give us the background of this photo? WWII Germans with prisoners?

Does Napolitano ever give a press conference? Some press person should ask her what she thinks she is doing, forcing this elderly woman to remove her Depends, in order to be forcibly searched (yes, it’s forcible — can the woman refuse?) in order to take a plane?
What was the probable cause for the search? Would law enforcement be allowed to do this without a warrant? What law did this poor elderly woman break?

I want Texas so much to implement that anti-TSA legislation so that we can confront this BS once and for all. Then our doofus Hawaiian ruler, his disingenuous wife, and his lesbian Interior Minister will have to explain cases like this and the infants being patted down in front of a public court.

I think the most appropriate place for the soiled Depends
would have been on/around some TSA supervisor’s head.
Sigh.
Ain’t our Republic’s slide into hell smellin’ great?

Things like this, is why I will NEVER fly again. I would end up being arrested at the TSA checkpoint, either for the treatment to myself, or to a total stranger being violated.
Tell me where a granny has carried a bomb onto a domestic flight in the U.S.?
Or a small child? ANY CHILD? Anyone other than a MUSLIM MALE?
While the airlines and cruise lines won’t miss me, I’ve voted with my feet and wallet.

Think about it...95yr old woman, wheel chair, diaper, she absolutely fits the PROFILE of a TEA Party Terrorist. Very dangerous.

Wheelchairs trigger certain protocols, including pat-downs and possible swabbing for explosives, Koshetz said But not Muslims. I sure am glad I dont have to fly. I've noticed more and more people are not flying, unless necessary. The cruise industry is even selling out the ships that leave from NY and NJ. Disney cruises will also be going out of NJ.
I read that trans-Atlantic cruises are making a come-back. You have to have the time to do that, but people are fed up with the airlines.
I'm also fed up with the airlines.

I have a feeling that if/when civilization falls apart, TSA agents will be among the first to be lined up and shot.
Just sayin’, y’know?

Eventually the Obama regime goes away and this Napolitano chick is on her own out in the world ~ no guards ~ no skulking TSA protectors ~ and unarmed.
She will begin encountering the ordinary problems of living in society and she won't like it at all. Most of us could write her first letter of complaint.
Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh ~ but I'm not going to laugh.
Ultimately she will find the illegal aliens roaming through her New Mexico neighborhood ~ and no one will come to help her.

... told her they would need for her mother to remove her Depends diaper because it was soiled and was impeding their search. The problem was that the diaper was soiled, and they can't see through human feces to spot a bomb?
Or they didn't feel like continuing the search without pushing their weight around, and getting their hands dirty?
False positives will kill TSA by overwhelming the system, much as fake voter IDs hurt the election process.

Well, this whole thing is not about HS. It is yet another way for the Lefty FEDS to strip Americans of that “arrogant minset”.
If people are forced to accept personal indignancies it is not far behind that they will consider radical moves by Big Brother a welcome relief. Why do you think the Nazi’s forced the Concentration Camp victims to walk to the Gas chambers nude. Force them to think about the indignity rather than the fate they were to face. They were relieved to go into those rooms. THAT is the EVIL that these very same minds are capable of, count on it.

I fly as little as possible, I haven't been on a plane since last Oct. I have a friend who lives in Mexico flies all the time to Europe and the US. I asked her last week about the pat downs and security invasions and she shrugged her shoulder and said there haven't been any. Yet I come on FR and there is a thread going on all the time. I want to hear some personal stories from freepers about the invasions that have happened to them recently.
