A Tennessee woman landed in jail after allegedly yelling at Transportation Security Administration officers and refusing to allow her daughter to go through a full-body scanner and a pat-down search.

According to a report in the Tennessean, Andrea Fornella Abbott shouted and cursed at TSA workers at Nashville International Airport on Saturday. Abbott said she didn't want her daughter's "crotch grabbed," the paper reported, citing a police report.

Sounds like an easy free speech case.

Then we should expect the ACLU to jump right in. /s

I like to think impeachment is imminent.

Someone needs to sue the cr*p out of the TSA. I’m just amazed someone hasn’t already. It’s against our 4th amendment rights.

Clinton was impeached. What good did that do?
Let me answer that for you: NOTHING.

I suspect a disproportionate share of pedophiles have signed up for TSA duty specifically for this job “benefit”, while decent people are likely to have left for reputable employment. Apparently not permitting a potential pedophile to fondle your child’s genitals is now becoming a crime. Obama promised change, and he delivered!

Thanks but I am well capable of answering for myself.

Only two US presidents have suffered the embarrassment of being impeached...Andrew Johnson and William J. Clinton. And while Clinton was not removed from office he will never escape that dubious dishonor.

That “dubious dishonor” only matters to people who care and vote properly anyway. It’s good to care about integrity and honor, but that will not fix this country.

Impeaching Obama/Holder will only give them more “street cred”, and it will probably help them with their voters.

I would agree with your second point in that sentence. Many blame TSA workers for this affront on decency while they are, for the most part, just following orders.

The real culprits in this scenario are the politicos who pass down policy. It is possible, however, that pedophiles and other democrats have moved to fill the voids left by those who abdicated their positions because they refused to grope an unobliging public.

There are places where having someone do that will cost you a large wad of cash.

You’re free to believe what you will but it is my belief Clinton fancied himself (and still does) a great president. Great presidents, however, don’t get impeached. That pertinent fact will remain long after the name Monica Lewinsly has been forgotten.

If you couldn’t get the Senate to vote to impeach Bill Clinton you sure as heck won’t ever get them to impeach Barry with all of the charges of racism that will be thrown around.

The only time you will ever see a US President impeached will be if he is a Republican and the Dems have at least sixty votes in the Senate.
