(CNN) -- The Transportation Security Administration has denied that its agents required a 95-year-old woman to remove her adult diaper last week before allowing her to pass a screening checkpoint at Northwest Florida Regional Airport.
"While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner," the agency said Sunday night in a statement. "We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally, according to proper procedure and did not require this passenger to remove an adult diaper."
A response released earlier Sunday by the TSA said that the agency had reviewed the circumstances "and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure."
The woman's daughter, Jean Weber, told CNN on Monday that the TSA agents acted professionally and never ordered the removal of her mother's diaper. However, Weber said the agents made it clear that her mother could not board the plane unless they were able to inspect the diaper.

I see that the new TSA union has kicked in, to fully discredit any complaints against their impeccable members!
“What will happen when the first TSA agent gets beaten to a bloody pulp over something like this?
That is exactly what they are hoping for. They are intentionally proving the peace loving American public into enough rage to create a public event.”
Needs to be much more subtle than that... Remember their face, follow them after their shift and take care of business “off the record”.
The ol lady probably had a beard and smelled like campfire. She could have been returning from terrorist camp for seniors. Ya never know.
Actually, it sounds like the daughter changer her story since yesterday.
The media have not reported the more unpleasant aspects of TSA screening. You have to go to blog sites to read private comments about what is really happening. For those who wear security pads for incontinence, the TSA wants to verify there is nothing hidden in the pads. People were warning about that months ago.
LOL. Then you have taken the issue from one of mass protest to a conspiracy to commit a crime. Much worse. AND still they will use the attack(s) as a pretense to implement their agenda. Even if such an attack is construed as a random jihad-style act of terror, they will become even more brutal. That, all of which is noted, you have said as much on this forum. Keep in mind, that I know for a fact that these conversations are monitored by the TSA, Military Intel, and the FBI.
They have the software to track down any ISP and find any user on this forum. What you consider idle banter, they are now looking at ways to use it against dissent. There is only one way to combat this thuggery. Organize as our opponents have. There are more of us. We can take back the courts, school rooms, college professorships, local councils, and other roles of leadership. We can no longer afford to sleep through this. Organize in greater numbers. Fund raise. Use our numbers as our strength. We can boycott airlines. We can sue their unions. We can video them as they come and go. We can find out anything that they think they can find out about us. And we can do it better.
It is still stupid that they checked this woman at all. They have no excuse for it.
Murder by cop for disobeying the rules of the ruling hierarchy?
I really can’t think of a good reason to fly anymore and I don’t. It seems like a method of punishment rather than a method of travel.
She should’ve taken the pills and died with ‘dignity’./s
Do they make babies remove their diapers?
I hope someday soon I can say that . And when I drive, no GPS
That is exactly what they are hoping for. To deter travel and keep the population in a box.
I flew today. Got pulled from line for a “random” search. The jackasses torn all of my stuff out of the bags and examined EVERY piece of it. Here is the kicker, they never patted me down. Some sort of training exercise. I made the mistake of giving my Alpha male eye to one of the pervs and that is what I got.
They can track your cell phone, not your GPS.

“...determined that our officers acted professionally...”
Professional JBTs and Perverts.
Of course they’re professionals; they’d paid to do what the do. Prostitutes are professionals as well. TSA freaks are infinitely worse, since they’re molestations are not voluntary.
WIth the combo goal of making us all into docile cattle who will peacefully and willing board the trains to the gulag.
More recently, outrage erupted over a video-recorded pat-down of a 6-year-old passenger last April ...... Pistole addressed this controversy ......last week, explaining the pat-down was ordered because the child had moved while passing through a body imaging machine. He told committee members that "we have changed the policy (so) that there'll be repeated efforts made to resolve that without a pat-down."
The next day, TSA spokesman Greg Soule said that the new policy -- which will apply to children age 12 and younger -- was in the process of being rolled out.
So when are we getting diaper-waivers for those over 90?
I can only assume the daughter was threatened.
