TSA pat-down leaves traveler covered in urine (Long past time to revolt!)
MSNBC ^ | Harriet Baskas

A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

“I was absolutely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” said Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, 61, of Lansing, Mich. Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his stomach. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.” On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security scanner at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure.”

Due to his medical condition, Sawyer asked to be screened in private. “One officer looked at another, rolled his eyes and said that they really didn’t have any place to take me,” said Sawyer. “After I said again that I’d like privacy, they took me to an office

These TSA agents have no police powers, and are using local laws to have passengers arrested and cited. We must start pressuring local lawmakers to remove these protections the TSA are enjoying, first and foremost, by explicitly permitting filming by private citizens of TSA screening checkpoints. We can't permit our local officials to protect the TSA, and if the federal response is a threat to yank federal funding of airports, then it'll be up to our elected officials to forbid this.

But first and foremost, we need to pressure those who are most directly hired and employed by us, the cities and counties that own the airport property. Challenge them at meetings, force them to make comments one way or the other, then battle or support them as needed.

Or else it might be you who is next dragged away in your underwear, your camera or phone confiscated, arrested and cited by local police.

You're saying 'enough' to the wrong culprit. Sure Obongo,the TSA and Janet Up YourAss are evil. But the real problem is ISLAM! Why are the TSA morons probing your vagina and ass? Because evil, murdering, psychotic MUSLIMS want to KILL YOU!

You see any Jews or Christians trying to blow up your family or hijack a jet so they can fly it into your office building? Don't think so! You and I are INFIDELS! Muslims will never stop killing innocent people. Hell, they can't even stop killing themselves!!

If you woke up tomorrow and there were NO muslims left on the face of the earth do you think you might just be enjoying your day and your future a little bit better! Well, tomorrow morning they're NOT going to be gone and you had better get prepared for their birth-rate takeover of America (They've already conquered Europe!) and eventual Sharia Law under which the odds of you NOT being beheaded and your daughters stoned to death are Slim!

The TSA is merely a symptom. The virus killing you is Islam! Eradicate it or it will you for sure!

John Pistoles home address should be published. Patriots should picket his house, follow him around everywhere he goes, intrude on his life as he has intruded on ours. He should be made to feel like us lowly subjects

Agree...the main reason for the search is because Muslims have been bringing on explosives on planes, yet our government has decided to target the American children, Catholic nuns, elderly American holiday travelers, etc., for strip searches. I would love to know the ratio of Muslims being chosen from the lines for the same sort of strip searches?

The virus is political correctness, which has shut down ourr immune system from defending against the real invader, Islam.
Without political correctness, we would have a properly functioning immune system. One that exercises profiling. And if we were attacked again, instead of absorbing another attack, hunt down and kill anyone associated with the attack, including aiding and abetting (hear that, Code Pink?). And if the attack was severe enough, maybe a glass parking lot in return.

This is terrorism committed by the TSA. TSA’s have replaced Al Qaida and they are now the worlds worst terrorist organization

I’m betting over the holidays that some sort of serious incident involving these pedophiles is going to happen. People wont stand for this for long. I never fly and Im outraged at this behaviour, while its applauded in the White House. People need to say NO and tell them to take the 11k fine and shove it up there ass. Do a countersuit for being held against your will without probable cause. Do whatever it takes, without violence, but dont let them humiliate you or your children. This isnt a left or right attack its an attack on our very freedoms. This is a police state in the making if we let this slide.
