I was wondering why they would remove her bra in public. But it appears from the story that she was not wearing one.

Doesn’t excuse the TSA. Just answers the question.

“The incident happened at the international airport in Los Angeles (LAX) some two years ago.”

What? And Hall is getting upset NOW?

This kinda crap would cease if the wussified American public would stop flying and make it known to the airlines why.

The TSA, and astronomical national debt, and entitlements are sure signs of a country and its people are voluntarily accepting slavery.

Today, I flew from Dallas to Newark with a layover in St. Louis. I was on American for the first leg and United for the last. Although I suffered no particular humiliation during the security checks, I was a bit taken aback by the fact that I had to exit Terminal C in St. Louis and re-enter Terminal A to catch the United flight, and had to pass through security again. According to one of the locals there, pre-9/11 there was a walkway between the terminals, but since then, changing terminals means taking off your shoes and belt and playing the TSA game a second time.

For what the TSA costs, there could be an armed air marshal on every flight.

Since this intrusive behavior has started, I vow never to board another plane except in a case of extreme emergency.

My motto is: if I can’t drive there, I won’t go there.

the then-17-year-old victim was the grandniece of Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas).

Congressman Hall is the oldest serving Rep. A WW2 veteran, he started as a conservative Democrat in 1980, and has served ever since.

Hall switched parties in 2004. He voted against NAFTA. He voted for the Bush tax cuts. He voted for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Nothing is coincidence involving the Chicago Way. This was a message to Hall: "Resign. Today. Get it?"

Let us not forget that we assured by Senator Charles Schumer (D, NY) that should Congress approve of federalizing the previously private security screeners, that they would be “more professional”.

Yes, they act like professional thugs. And it appears that TSA management wants it that way given how few complaints are accepted.

Hypocritical congressmen. No complaints unless it’s one of their own that suffers.

The soft tyranny continues with hardly any complaints. Perhaps there will be some action when the TSA starts searching bus and train passengers. Wait a minute they have already done that. Maybe when the TSA has checkpoints on the major interstates then we’ll see some resistance. On the other hand I believe the incremental removal of freedoms will go on unabated.

It is also not the first time lawmakers have had unpleasant experiences with the TSA. Earlier this year, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) missed a flight to Washington, D.C., after being detained by screeners for refusing a full-body pat-down. The incident happened at the Nashville, Tennessee, airport when a so-called “naked-body scanner” found some sort of alleged “anomaly” around the conservative senator’s knee.

Aaaaaaaand, of course, the follow up is not to look at the bare knee. That would be way too common sense.
