Father Kevin Payne is outraged after what he has deemed as a line-crossing two-minute pat down of his 10-year-old daughter Vendela by TSA at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The additional security was triggered by a juice pouch Vendela accidentally left in her carry-on bag.
"It was excessive, it was invasive, I was pretty much boiling in my head," he told ABC News. (source)
Payne recorded the pat down on his phone and uploaded the video to YouTube despite the fact that the TSA agent lied and told him that filming was not allowed (it absolutely is).
"While there was a SHOE BOMBER, Agent completely ignores shoes & quickly focuses on my 10 yr old child's buttox, thighs & pelvic areas," Payne wrote in the YouTube video of the incident he uploaded to YouTube.
It's tough to watch the part where it appears the agent is going to lift the girl's shirt. The girl reaches for the hem immediately, a pained look on her face at potentially being undressed in public. The agent pats down her thighs front and back multiple times and around the little girl's breasts.
It really is hard to watch. Her father wrote that he felt like he was watching his 5th grade daughter get assaulted.
And yet, he stood by filming it and watching it happen...
It's a wonder if Americans will ever rise up in mass and simply stop allowing themselves to be subjected to this guilty-until-proven-not-a-terrorist behavior. If everyone across the country simply refused fly for even one whole day to boycott this, it would stop. Instead, our nation's citizens continue to diligently trudge through the airports and subject themselves and their children to be groped and in some cases sexually assaulted by government goons day in and day out.
It's ridiculous, especially considering the TSA has already been found to completely fail at doing its job 95% of the time...

The FReeper wasn’t mad at me, but mad at the situation.
Could it be the more modest the dress, i.e. long skirt, etc the greater the perceived risk of hidden stuff.
So it is the home schoolers and Amish that are the target of the TSA most invasive searches.
My granddaughters aren’t allowed to wear slacks or pants, just long skirts. But since they are white they are the new-amish.

I could never go undercover and film animal abuse at factories...I would out myself in 2 minutes but people who love animals do this for the evidence and to change things for the better.
I hope one of the first things Trump does is to FIRE TSA and ban the xxx-ray machines. Such a farce! Unless I fly private I refuse to fly!
I couldn’t watch it.
Me, either.
THANK-YOU!
That’s all I was trying to say!
“On Sept. 12, 2001, Mecca and Medina should have ceased to exist, and we should have taken over the oil fields in Saudi Arabia.”
Be careful, advocating genocide can get one banned here.
IMHO, there is nothing wrong with a genocide, as long as its the right people getting exterminated (like the Amalekites).
I have since realized that Islam will be God’s instrument for pouring out His wrath upon this evil world, and I do not worry so much about Islam spreading now in the big scheme of things.
I do plan to keep me and my loved ones as safe as possible with well placed head shots if necessary.
I think that the little girl, because she is dressed like a conservative Christian in a long skirt, is being profiled and is punished for flying while Christian and White. I also noticed during the very brief time I watched Obama’s “town hall” yesterday that he told a lovely white woman that she wouldn’t have any trouble getting a gun. He profiled her. She could have been a terrorist but because she was white, female, and nicely dressed, he said she would be fine.
i understand your intent, but this is not genocide. It is merely appropriate payback for trying to take out our financial, political and military centers in one day, and for killing three thousand of innocent people in an act of war.
It seems to be shaping up that Iran is going to do to Saudi Arabia what we failed to do.
That’s a shame, because then, they get to keep all that oil.
A female TSA agent spent 10+ minutes on my upper body six or so years ago when we were boarding a plane back from Bermuda. It was ridiculous. I now go through the x-ray machine rather than going through the invasive pat-down.
I couldn’t watch this video for more than a few seconds.
I call BS of the Dad. If he was so disgusted why didn’t he stop it and leave the airport? This slow mo video looks bad but in real time it is a standard quick pat down by TSA. Not that I agree it should be done. But if I truly felt the way this guy claims I would have gone to jail if necessary to stop it.
This all seems a little too contrived and angry.
>>The FReeper wasn’t mad at me, but mad at the situation.
Right. The “high roaders” get mad at the situation, but they don’t want to get nasty with those who created the situation or are creating it right NOW for YOU.
The guy who posts the “How can a handgun stop an army” thread again and again makes a great point about making the petty bureaucrats and apparatchiks fear doing their job. But that simple truth also applies to just making their jobs unpleasant until they don’t want to do them anymore. The “high roaders” say that these are just people doing a job so why take it out on them.
Well, you take it out on them because they are the ones with their hands on your crotch! Thank globally. Act locally! When the TSA guy is kneeling down to fondle you, fart. It is a natural bodily function. You are under no legal obligation to hold it in.
My problem with the TSA is they’re not protecting us... it’s illusion. Last ‘stress test’ failed big time.
“It seems to be shaping up that Iran is going to do to Saudi Arabia what we failed to do.”
True. My point is that no one will be safe from Islamic fascism as long as one remains alive with the will to kill.
I'd PAY MONEY to see that. Heck, I'd even FILM his ordering them to hit the deck and "PUSH IT AWAY UNTIL HE GETS TIRED." I'd even film all of it If I Could hold the camera steady while I laughed so hard.
I can’t speak to the mindset of the father, but perhaps the requirement to travel was extremely high. And....I understand your position, and I know you are reasonable enough to understand another position. For example, people who simply had to fly that day, and — although disgusted at the TSA behavior — would like to take and preserve evidence....
“A female TSA agent spent 10+ minutes on my upper body six or so years ago...”
Completely unacceptable.
Get to know me, because I'm a 60 minute man.
When a black gets to f*** with Whitey-guess what!
