Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- In response to a video of a California man's dispute with airport security officials, the Transportation Security Administration said Monday it tries to be sensitive to individuals, but everyone getting on a flight must be screened.

The video, in which software engineer John Tyner refuses an X-ray scan at the San Diego, California, airport, has sparked a debate over screening procedures.

What else would you expect from a bull dyke lesbian?

I surmised that Big Sis is giddy about allowing her fellow gay and lesbian cohorts who may have gay or lesbian screeners to molest men, women and children.

A huge part of the Homosexual Agenda is trying to promote adult / child sex.

These TSA thugs are touching the genitals of children, usually if you do that to a child you get 30 to life. The TSA? They get raises.

They already said pictures got posted online. I think someone should file a lawsuit against Big Sis for production and distribution of child pornography.

Thanks to PC democrats, we don't profile. It's funny how Israel doesn't have any problems. Well that's because they profile!!!

Well, I noticed that this “Skydancer30” was part of the properties on that picture and wondered where it was taken. I’m waiting for someone to take out one of the TSA agents when they feel up some good looking woman and the hubby is PO’ed.

This big story is already going viral in Japan. LINK HERE

It is highlighting, in Japanese, the Johns Hopkins study that these airport machines are not safe and can be connected to skin cancer. It shows a photo of machine, and then the text of the JH study in Japanese. CNN Japan this morning is also now running the story in Japanese, it is spreading in Japan, they are as a people, VERY sensitive people about "radiation" (no pun intended) as well as having images of their private parts on public display, especially in a foreign land. Particularly female Japanese travelers, who bring tons of yen/cash for shopping splurge US tours, will most likely now stay away in DROVES I predict if this kind of story spreads, and will stick with other countries to visit.

This nonsensical random screening does nothing to prevent terror attacks, ruins the peace of mind for all travelers, torments the innocent, and doesn't even appease the leftist rulers.

You're absolutely right. If they really wanted to make things safe they'd head over to Israel and take some lessons from their security. Period.

Despite the scans and pat-downs I don't for a minute believe safety is the real issue here. A power play to make the masses more subservient is what's going on. What are they going to insist on next; bus drivers patting people down? Security guards at the schools doing random pat-downs on high school kids? Getting frisked at the local mall? Where does it end?

It's not enough that the gov has taken over healthcare, student loans, car industry etc. Now they want their highly trained (not) and intelligent (not) airline security workers to have access to our bodies. No thanks. I'll drive my car.

I wonder what is next. They never stop, so what’s next? Bring it to the trains? Universal breathalyzers in cars?

OK, it takes me about thirteen hours to drive to where I go.

To take the plane, for about a 2 hour flight, I have a total travel time of about 9 hours.

In the car I can relax, listen to music, look at scenery, stop when I want.

In the airport I’m scrutinized, scowled at, strip searched, packed in and spit out.

I prefer to drive.

Oh, are they screening people on private planes? Are they screening military personnel before they get on military planes? Are they screening executives on private jets? Congresscritters? First family?

What about folks getting on boats? Train passengers? 18-wheelers? Cars? Or is it just the passenger airline industry that we’re ending today? When can we sign up for our microchip? At what point are we truly robots?

If that was MY daughter being patted down like that, that TSA agent would be out cold in seconds.

A serious question: if you have told your children to yell stop/run/hit/ tell an adult if someone touches them inappropriately, what would TSA do to a child that hits/otherwise reacts to the grope search? Arrest the parents, eject the family? What if your young teen daughter hauls off and slaps or does a knee to the groin of an agent when they touch her breast? I’m really curious what the fallout of CHILDREN fighting back on this would be.

Well, I am lucky my daughter does not have to fly anymore. Her BF / (hopefully future husband) is a private pilot flying oil execs around the country. She has an open invite to accompany him to any and all places he goes. I don’t think she sill put up with any type of harassment, including some TSA agent touching her breasts or any other private areas.

First- sorry for late reply. I always forget to check the pings... Now, I am only going by news accts etc, and I haven’t flown in a while, but it just seems like I see a LOT of black TSA people searching white people. it was only in last day or so I saw someone (can’t remeber color) seaqching a woman in (seemingly) Muslim garb... Kind of odd after all this stink a shot like this comes out.
