The moment a mom, 42, with breast cancer was 'violated' and reduced to tears by TSA agents ...

Complete Headline: The moment a mom, 42, with breast cancer was 'violated' and reduced to tears by TSA agents who patted down her medical port and 'tried to perform a body cavity search in public'

Denise Albert, a morning show contributor and co-host of The Moms, a SiriusXM radio show, was traveling through Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday when the 'humiliating' experience left her in tears.

Albert detailed the experience of removing her wig, exposing the sores on her feet, and telling the TSA agents she had a medical port in her chest that she didn't want them to touch - a warning that was not heeded.

Albert said she notified TSA about her medical port and removed the cream from her bag, as she has done numerous times before without an issue.

The security agents then pulled her aside, and said she would have to take off her shoes and undergo a full body pat-down 'with pressure' if she wanted to take the medical cream with her, Albert wrote.

The agents flouted the TSA pre-check protocol by asking her to take off her shoes, leaving her bare feet freezing for 20 minutes due to her medical treatment, she claimed.

Albert asked to sit down, since her chemotherapy has left her feet covered in sores, which she did not want touching the ground.

They later offered to conduct the search in the privacy of a room, but Albert said she couldn't walk there because they wouldn't return her boots.

The radio host said the agents then told her they would 'apply pressure from head to toe', and she decided to take her wig off, saying: 'I didn't want them to touch it, move it, or ruin it'.

> Donald Trump briefly mentioned something about reigning in the TSA during his acceptance speech at the Cleveland convention.
> The comment was made very briefly, but I wonder what he has in mind.

One can only hope that he sends every one of these molesters and perverts from the TSA to prison.

This shit serves several purposes:
It makes some members of the public believe we are being kept “safe” by the TSA.
It rewards sheeplike behavior and severely punishes those who would assert their rights.
It proves over and over again to the liberals that they are not singling out muzzies.
It distracts the public so it won’t notice that muzzies are not being singled out.

“The airlines and the frickin’ TSA can all just go away and die a horrible, painful death.”
__________________________________________________________

That’s pretty much how I feel.

I’ve never been “screened” the so-called TSA.

I haven’t flown on a commercial airliner since September 1, 1989.

I can’t believe supposedly freedom-loving Americans put up with their invasive, tyrannical bullcrap without rising up as saying, “enough!”

This $h!t has got to stop. The tsa must be disbanded and airport security given back to the airlines. It’s my sincere belief that most of the tsa agents get a perverse pleasure out of harassing and physically abusing people, particularly white people.

I refuse to be violated by the TSA so I choose to no longer fly on commercial airlines. More Americans should be boycotting commercial air travel.

He will, no more TSA and its EEO hires.

All GWB did was Federalize rent a cops with predictable results.

Require the same training as FBI and the perverts and bully go back under their
rocks

Sound like just another example of life in a police state.

Ditto. Except I would say ALL Americans should boycott. That would fix the problem virtually overnight.

I believe based on my experience the TSA agents working security are disportionately minorities. They are given a little authority and run amok with it. In addition to this they seem to have no common sense. I was “targeted” last time I flew and it was absolutely stupid, the screening. My husband was also “checked”. I am thankful my daughters were not. I have never seen anyone of color pulled out of line, now this may just be my experience, but I would be curious to know statistically the demographics of those with additional/enhanced searches.

What a total crock of shit! Hire a bunch of morons with an average IQ of 50, give them badges and turn ‘em loose to harass people. Conditioning - nothing more than conditioning us for increasingly more government intrusions into our lives.

My nephew, who travels a lot for work, refers to TSA as “Too Stupid for Arby’s”.

News flash: That’s exactly what the Patriot Act was intended to do. Virtually everything authorized by the Patriot Act places burdens on American citizens, further limits our freedoms and violates our privacy, while doing NOTHING to prevent terrorism.
