The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.
Quote:
Brademeyer and her mom passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident when the girl ran over to briefly hug her grandmother, Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm. TSA then insisted the girl also undergo a physical pat-down, putting the agency on the defensive despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.
Anyone have any numbers to the amount of sexual deviants the TSA employs?
I just want the TSA shut down and gotten rid of... they are nothing more than a waste of money... I don't feel safer that they are there but I would sure be happier if they weren't there... I think it is odd that instead of PREVENTING terrorism in America, we are LOOKING for terrorism in America...
Hey..grandma could have put a bomb on the child with that hug.
The plane could have been blown to pieces.
When the TSA first started doing the patdowns it was all about preventing another "underwear bomber" from boarding a plane and blowing up innocent Americans. The majority were all for this; they felt SAFER.
Well you reap what you sow. And now you have "checkpoint charlie" in bus stations, train stations and even commuter rail and a mobile unit to keep you SAFE from terrorists.

The TSA is just a side show. A FEEL good that actually provides little security. Effectively the TSA has made airline travel a non option for me. I'll take the car.

I'd rather drive as well. In fact, unless I have to travel for my job, in which I haven't had to yet, and considering I have no interest in travelling overseas, (except maybe the Caribbean) I'll drive.
How soon we forget history. How soon we forget small children wrapped with hidden explosives in Vietnam. How we block out images of Hamas parading small children with suicide belts. Maybe its time for some imagary as we enter the TSA checkpoints.
