"Strip-seasrching my neighbor's five month-old grandson was hassling.
Attempting to confiscate Joe Foss' Medal of Honor which he received for heroism in the skies over Guadalcanal was hassling.

If that strip search actually happened, which I doubt, you may well be right. And certainly the Medal of Honor incident was wrong, but I believe that happened pre-TSA, although I could be wrong. Such things are the exception, though. I don't base my opinions on individual incidents, when millions of people appear to be flying just fine and not having these problems.

Are you implying that I'm lying, or that my neighbor's son and daughter-in-law are.
This incident happened and I have heard news reports of similar incidents.
And no, it didn't happen pre-TSA.
They selected then for body Searches because their number came up on a computer and for no other reason.
They have — or at least had until recently — quotas and from all appearences at least some of the people are selected for no other reason than they are not minorities or non-white foreigners.
