Breast cancer survivor forced into invasive patdown by TSA, even after submitting to backscatter imaging scan
"My wife Lori Dorn, who has breast cancer, tells her story about a TSA agent at JFK on Friday who required her to submit to a pat down due to her breast implants, even though she had an identification card for the implants that is used to prove that the implants are an actual medical device. The TSA agent would not let Lori show her the card." (boingboing.net) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
There is a god...its called TSA.....ask them they will tell you.....what a bunch of inbred morons... and they are protecting us ?????
FIRST OF ALL "PROFILING" WORKS A HUGE % OF THE TIME; LEGAL OR NOT. I PROFILE THE PEOPLE SITTING NEXT TO ME AND AROUND ME. DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE JACKASS IS, WHO THE CLOWN IS, WHO THE DRUNK IS, AND WHO I WOULD PICK AS THE MOST LIKELY PERSON TO BE A TERRORIST OR CRAZY PERSON. ANYONE TRAVELING ON A PASSPORT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE THIRD DEGREE EVERYTIME. WHO SAYS THEY SHOULD TRAVEL WITH THE SAME EASE AS A US CITIZEN. DO I THINK ALL THIS TSA STUFF IS NECESSARY? I THINK A WELL TRAINED TERRORIST GROUP CAN BLOW UP AN AIRPLANE ANY TIME THEY WANT. WHAT THEY CAN'T DO SO MUCH ANYMORE IS COMANDERE ONE TO USE LIKE 911. VIGILANT CITIZENS ARE THE FINAL DEFENSE. THERE IS NO TOTAL DEFENSE AGAINST SOMEONE WILLING TO GIVE THEIR LIFE TO KILL OTHERS. DO YOU FEEL LUCKY PUNK!!!! THEN GET ON THE PLANE.
Ahhh... the joys of charter.
All private flying is wonderful. Hope we don't have to redistribute that wealth anytime soon.

For me it is not a question of whether I get mucked about by security at US airports or not flying, it is a choice whether I will go to the USA or not. I decided to keep away from the US as being the easiest of all solutions.
How entirely stupid of some to suggest that if you don't like being patted down in public you always have the alternative of not flying. Unbelieveble insensivity, - the person who suggested it must be a TSA agent or a twin brother of Mr Rumsfeld.
