TSA pat-down leaves traveler covered in urine (Non-muslim bladder cancer survivor)

The most simple and basic common sense would have had these goons at TSA leaving the guy alone on they figured out he had medical equipment attached to his body. That they harmed that innocent man is just plain evil. I hope he sues.

[SaraJohnson]

Yes, we can and will stoop lower. If we want it to stop, we all storm the Congress with the abuses of Homeland Security and TSA. They were created to protect us from Islamic terrorists - that is all. Now they are pretending everyone is a domestic terrorist and have even singled out Amerian political groups as domestic terrorists.

We need to kick them hard and make restoring constutional government and rights an election issue. If need be, we should repeal the patriot act because our government and courts can not be trusted with such unconstitutional power. They have turned on us like freaking Nazis or communists.

Sitting ducks for pirates or terorists!I’ll just drive around these”57” United States!

[I see my hands]

My point isn't that one person should set an example my point is that the Feds can and will do whatever they please with impunity.

[miked2244]

I have a question that may or may not add fuel to the (enhanced pat down) fire.

All of the Airports that I traveled in and out of are a part of a municipality with local law enforcement having jurisdiction over the Airport and Airport property.

Almost all Cities and States have laws concerning inappropriate touching, therefore wouldn’t it be valid for law enforcement posted at the Airport to detain or arrest “anyone” (TSA included) committing the illegal action of inappropriate touching?

[XenaLee]

Remember when the Left was screaming about Bush’s assault on privacy because he dared to intercept phone calls between suspected terrorists overseas? For the liberals eavesdropping on terrorists phone calls= Police State. Groping Granny’s Groin= no big deal.

Yeah, and don't forget... all Bush did was monitor 'suspected' terrorist phone calls plus a little waterboarding and panties on the heads of already arrested terrorists and enemy combatants. Zero is sending out predator drones to kill 'suspected' terrorists (plus any unfortunate innocent civilians). And of course, none of what Zero is doing is even questioned OR is disputed by the idiot left. It's ok to murder someone suspected of being a terrorist, but whatever you do, don't listen to their phone calls!

Typical moronic and despicable leftist double standard. Not to mention their usual agenda to hamstring our intelligence agencies, our military and our economy in their attempt to punish America.

[DooDahhhh]

You are giving homosexuals a bad name.

[equaviator]

I think the best question to be asking is “Where does it end?”.

Apparently, there will be no end to it that we could ever morally accept as the “new normal”.

We can’t carry on as though gross error in the name of an “abundance of caution” or to “err on the side of caution” is the way it has to be.

Does the TSA’s quality assurance and continuous improvement program include the “voice of the passenger”? Does the TSA even have a quality initiative?

[GailA]

Looks like any one who has had cancer or surgery are in for a ROUGH time from TSA. I sure wouldn’t want any one probing my thick C-Section scar (from 2 of them), it would be painful. And my baby is now 28. Bet people with pace makers, metal screws from breaks, etc are in for a ROUGH time flying and should opt for driving if at all possible.

[GailA]

What are people with pace makers supposed to do???????????

[comps4spice]

Worth a bump.

[ExTexasRedhead]

At least four doctors that I’ve heard about say DO NOT go through the scanners.

[AmericanInTokyo]

At times, folks, I just don't recognize the USA anymore.

It has changed THAT MUCH.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Backsplatter scanners are bad news.

All kinds of folks are going to develop cancers down the road. Count on it.

Particularly frequent biz flyers.
