Arrest them. Bring them downtown, book them, and hold them in a cell overnight.
I think they would just find the whole experience discouraging.

This TSA situation is totally out of control. It’s become a pretext to institute an intrusive search procedures agenda on American citizens rather than to protect Americans from terrorists.

The fundamental issue is the health, safety and welfare of the targets of the TSA inspections. I think you need a court trial and a whole bunch of other stuff before TSA or any other bunch of federal cops has the authority to take actions that can HARM or KILL their target who is presumably temporarily in their custody.
This isn't Pakistan.
The bureaucrat who sent out the "procedures were followed" should probably be severely counseled by her management.

So Al-Qaeda is recruiting 95 year old grandmothers that wear adult diapers? Must be a new tactic.

Isn’t their something in the Constitution (say, 4th amendment maybe?) about illegal searches of one’s person and property?

Yet pulling 20 something year old men with arabic names out of line for a little increased scrutiny is considered outrageous.

who in their right mind...a 95 year old? take off an adult diaper?... This seems more retaliatory, or an authortarian head trip than security. Exactly how many recorded times has a threat been found in a 95 yr. olds adult diaper? What’s the basis?

How many 95-year-old mothers have hijacked a plane?
Search only Muslims and all will be fine.
The Left has no issue profiling Tea Party members and should start profiling for effective screening of flight threats.

They have the power, and they don't care what we think.

“An agent told Weber “they felt something suspicious on (her mother’s) leg and they couldn’t determine what it was” — leading them to take her into a private, closed room.
Soon after, Weber said, a TSA agent came out and told her that her mother’s Depend undergarment was “wet and it was firm, and they couldn’t check it thoroughly.”
It’s actions like this coming from the TSA that has convinced me we are lost as a nation. Instead of looking at the real possible terrorist, Muslims, they target an elderly woman that has dedicated her life to helping others.

Texas is making an effort to pass a law that would make TSA subject to Texas laws governing sexual assault, but DJ has threatened them with not allowing any planes to take off from Texas airports. Texas and citizens need to stand up to the oppressors or we are going to end up slaves to a ruling thugocracy,

Arrest the agents and every single manager up the ladder! This behavior is uncivilized, abusive and simply intolerable.
