TSA ejects Oceanside man from airport for refusing security check

No, and a four year old probably wouldn't react at all if the parent didn't overreact. And let's not forget, you can use the scanner.
This parent will overreact. There are a lot of things a child may not overreact to that are straight out inappropriate.

And I'll be God-damned if some snot-nosed high-school dropout loser rent-a-cop-wanna-be police-academy-washout TSA agent is going to get his jollies by looking at my naked four-year-old daughter.

Then don't freakin' fly with her. It's really not that hard, Coronado.

Your characterization of TSO's is totally and completely inappropriate. They're doing their job as it's been given to them. They aren't high school dropouts and they aren't losers. And they aren't getting their jollies looking at your naked 4-year-old daughter. They're just like you and me -- tryin' to earn a living. Don't like what they do? That's one thing. But maligning 50,000 people is just juvenile.

I've just watched a child being patted down. The effort was not inappropreate. It was not fondling. But the reporter was correct that handing kids may require more training as they can be difficult.

But it is an overreaction to call it fondling.

Please explain to me exactly how a person travels across the Pacific in a timely manner without being forced to "freakin' fly". Thanks in advance.
 
Calmly, honestly, and not make it something it isn't. No one is fondled.

There are those who have gone through it who seem to disagree.
 
I think it is fine. I have no problem with either the scanner or being searched.

Of course you don't. It's not a Bush Adminstration initiative. It's "the good guys."

I haven't heard anyone object to being searched. It's the groping of genitals and virtually naked pictures plastered everywhere that has everyone up in arms.

That is exactly the problem.

No one is feeling anyone up.

The victims claim otherwise. Try to keep up.
 
"You touch my junk and I'm going to have you arrested."

TSA. Testicle Seekers Association.

His blog:<Insert title here>: TSA encounter at SAN
.

I have a suggestion that will solve this 'touch my junk' issue; only sexy hot female TSA agents will be doing the touching (preferable said sexy hot female TSA agents will be scantily clad as well).

editoh and as a bonus, the same applies to female passengers... only sexy hot female TSA can touch them.

Don't fly across the Pacific. That's your choice....either fly...and accept what is with some modicum of grace...or don't fly at all.

So I either let some TSA flunky grope my preschooler or let one ogle her naked, or just simply deny her the opportunity to see half of her family until the good folks in D.C. pull their heads out of their asses?

How about if I stand up for my right to not be treated like a convicted felon without having had the benefit of due process just because the government is afraid? Is that okay with you?

Modicum of grace? As someone is manipulating my scrotum?.....this is blatantly un-American.
 
The reality is....this needs to be challenged in court. I don't believe there is any way that these new procedures would be upheld. I'm sorry.....but you don't sign away your Constitutional 4th Amendment rights to be free of search/seizure without a warrant when you purchase a plane ticket.

Nope. Too much is too much and "well, you don't have to fly" isn't a response.
 
That can't possibly be true. The good folks at TSA would never do such a thing! They're the salt of the Earth!

heh, those leaked scans are from U.S. Marshals guarding a Florida Federal courthouse. The TSA is bit more, umm... hands on.




Lawsuit: Airport search indecent | Amarillo Globe-News

An Amarillo woman is suing the federal government for intentional infliction of emotional distress after Transportation Security Administration agents allegedly humiliated the woman when her breasts were publicly exposed during an "extended search" two years ago at a Corpus Christi airport. The suit, filed earlier this year in Amarillo's U.S. District Court, alleges the woman was singled out for "extended search procedures" while preparing to board an aircraft destined for Amarillo on May 29, 2008. The Amarillo Globe-News has declined to identify the woman for privacy reasons.

"As the TSA agent was frisking plaintiff, the agent pulled the plaintiff's blouse completely down, exposing plaintiffs' breasts to everyone in the area," the lawsuit said. "As would be expected, plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and humiliated." The suit said the woman filed an administrative claim against the TSA, but the agency never responded, sparking the lawsuit.

The suit also claims that other TSA employees continued to joke and laugh about the incident for an extended period of time. The woman was distraught over the incident and left the screening area so an acquaintance could console her, the suit said. When the woman re-entered the boarding area, employees once again began joking about the matter, the suit said. "One male TSA employee expressed to the plaintiff that he wished he would have been there when she came through the first time and that 'he would just have to watch the video,'" the suit said.

Next time I go to the airport and the TSA tries to fondle my junk....I'm going to turn to them and say "OK....but me first" and grab them by the balls.

Hey....they say its not sexual battery.....
 
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It seems pretty clear to me. People cannot be searched unless there is a reason--supported by oath or affirmation--that they are breaking the law. What next? Random car searches at Target, to prevent terrorism? Random drug testing or house searches? Maybe you can house cops in your home. Maybe you can be considered guilty until proven innocent--for the sake of safety, of course. While we're at it, why not suspend the elections and let the supreme court decide who is our ruler?

Its nice to see a "very conservative" person actually speaking out against 4th Amendment violations......KUDOS!
 
Underwear Bomber and Shoe Bomber made us go crazy.

If somebody tells the TSA that there was once a Rectal Bomber, I'm never getting on an airplane again.
