She was arrested for “sexual assault.” Now, how come it isn’t assault when TSA does it to us, but it is assault if we do it to them???

Because obamma and his patsies have declared it to be legalized sexual assault.

You know, it grates at me that all these federal officials, who are calling the shots, never have to go through these demeaning sexual TSA encounters, because they exempted themselves.

The interessting aspect of this case is that she has not yet been charged. There is a preliminary hearing set for August 4th, and the process is that the hearing will review the facts submitted by the prosecution and see if the ingrediants for a felony charge are present. At that time the accused can call evidence and make a statement of denial to the court, and I bet it will be a douzer of a hearing if the prosecution goes ahead.She will undoubtedly raise her constitutional right under the 4th amendment to be free of unreasonanble search without probable cause or warrant, to be secure in her person therefrom.

The TSA never have probable cause, they just assault everyone. This is a violation of everyone’s 4th amendment rights.

4th Amendment

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.

The simple answer is: You are merely an Untermenschen, but they are the Ubermenschen.

Besides, those rejects from the fast food industry are carrying guns.

EXACTLY! One can only hope this case will help force the issue!

I can't believe that more people do not recognize the type of psychological harm that can come to people through these methods -- especially to the CHILDREN...

FOR EXAMPLE - a parent teaching a child about "bad touch" might now sound something like this;

"Don't ever let anyone touch you where your bathing suit goes, those are private parts... And, be sure to tell Mommy and Daddy if anyone ever touches you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable. Remember, the "bad people" who hurt children will make up lies and excuses for why what they're doing is not wrong - do not believe them! ALWAYS come to your parents if anyone EVER touches you, it's NOT RIGHT!
OH... EXCEPT for these strangers wearing uniforms in the airport - they are allowed to touch you wherever they want while Mommy and Daddy stand right beside you, and watch and LET these people touch you, and your parents will get very upset at you if you complain or act out! --- Do you want to go see your grandparents? OK, then... Let the authority figure put their hands all over your private parts and don't complain -- they are making sure you are "safe"!"

It's simply absurd, and tragic really...

What about adult survivors of sexual abuse or sexual assault? It's not like it won't cause them undue psychological stress and harm -- that sometimes won't be immediately apparent either! Add in that if you say anything you can be arrested... Absolute INSANITY! And it's exactly why I will not be flying until the TSA stops these practices... AND, I would NEVER expose my children to this kind of treatment either... It's just plain neglectful and abusive, really. It completely boggles my mind as to how people can excuse this behavior from ANYONE - much less from an "official" agency!

Exactly. Government drones should be a lower, LESS protected form of life, viewed as a semi-necessary evil but certainly never an overclass relative to those who produce actual wealth rather than destroy it.
