Did those TSA agents think the sick, 95 y/o woman was hiding a bomb inside her diaper? Stories like this are becoming more common. What I’m not reading about is searches of Muslims. Maybe a boycott of the airlines needs to be implemented. If nothing else, lawmakers do listen to campaign contributors.
I was only following orders.
/sarcasm/
It would be interesting to know who makes the decision to search such a person. There has to be a whole host of sadistic neurons lurking in that person’s mind.
I always use Pensacola instead.
There is no way I would have allowed this to happen in front of me. I would have whooped somebody’s @ss first and gone to jail for assault.
Wonder when they will begin requiring women to remove pads and tampons......they are technically the same type of products - whose main purpose is to collect “drips,runs and errors”
What I really hate is the fact that the TSA employees remain anonymous.
Why and the heck don’t they train these TSA Aholes to look for a trigger mechanism rather than check for a diaper full of C4. The Airlines are the ones who should crack down on these idiots because folks are going to say I’ll drive instead.
And Bin Laden laughs from his special corner in hell...I’m sure a ninety five year old mid western woman has an underpants bomb! The TSA lacks common sense just like their boss Napolitano and her boss Obama...
This story is getting a LOT of traction. It made it on Drudge.

Dying Woman Undergoes Additional TSA Security Screening, Says Family
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2740286/posts
95 years old.
This woman got to see this country go from a beautiful Republic with guarantees of Life, Liberty and Property to a coercive oppressive police state where you are guilty until proven innocent.
Flying out of Austin, TX in April, I watched no less than three TSA “agents” frisking a little boy of about 4 or 5. The kid looked scared to death. Neither he or his Mother looked suspicious...just another example of TSA bungling. I can say with certainty that the TSA has likely detected more breast implants than terrorists.
That isn’t security; it is Federally-sanctioned terrorism. The Feds are trying to use intimidation to condition the masses to accept a police state. I went Galt on flying over 10 years ago.
I know I am late replying here - but I just talked with a relative who is a single woman with a mentally challenged 38 year old daughter, who has the intellectual capacity of a three year old. She is in a wheelchair, and only has partial use of one hand.
Her mother was taking her on a ‘trip of a lifetime’ - to Las Vegas, and traveling by air.
TSA actually put their hand in her depends, looking for ‘something’. Her mother was apalled! And, she KNEW if she said anything, they would not be able to board the plane. The daugher started crying, not knowing what was happening to her.
I AM ASHAMED TO ADMIT THAT MY TAX DOLLARS GO TO SOMETHING SO OUTRAGEOUS AND ASSULTING!
It is time to get rid of Napolitano and the TSA, IMHO! El Air racially profiles, as we should, too!
I think all ME men between the ages of 18 and 45 should fly on a plane designated ONLY for them.
This story makes me sick.
