TSA: This Is What Should Be Happening At Airport Checkpoints
From 2011, a woman goes sane in the airport after a sleazy government worker, who earns money for violating Americans' bodies and rights, gropes her breasts in the name of security:
Caption with the video posted by rynomaz111:
5-28-11 at Sky Harbor International in Phoenix, AZ my mother was sexually assaulted which brought her to tears. Multiple TSA agents claimed to know my whole family (WELCOME TO 1984) TSA then threatened to steal my luggage because I left it unattended... rather because I was 10 feet from it. I was then threatened to have my ability to fly revoked by Southwest Airlines, NOT TSA. Southwest Airlines then threatened to have me arrested for filming the event, even though TSA, Southwest, and Phoenix Police couldn't provide me with the statute or law that claims I cannot film in a public area. Here is that event. Police- Protecting and Serving??? Why is TSA asking for my father's phone number and address at the end of this ordeal, to add us to a no-fly list or spy on us?
THIS is what it means to be a patriotic American.
Going quietly as the TSA thugs violate your mother's body and rights -- that is cooperating with those goose-stepping us to becoming a police-state.
And I heard a TSA thugwoman saying "This is the second time this family has done this." Props to them. We all should be doing this -- in respect and protection of the Constitution.

One of my local news channels just posted this on facebook. I am sad to see how many people are totally cool with the TSA. It seems people are more concerned with perceived security than freedom, and they want their security to be managed by the government.

I've flown out of Sky Harbor three times since I moved to Phoenix. The first time I went thru the patdown, and it was fairly quick, not very invasive, and I was sent on my way in less than a minute.
The second time I went thru the metal detector and was not selected for further screening, and the third, all they did was pat the back of my head because I had a barrette holding my hair back. I have never once had a problem like this. That being said, just because I have never been a target does not mean that I don't abhor the way my fellow citizens are being treated.
I've thought about it, trying to understand. It may be that I'm a military spouse, and that I always use my mil ID for checking in that gets me through without incident. Or, it may be that I am just calm, collected, and bored as hell in the line, and do not present myself as a "target of opportunity" to the sadists in TSA blue.
They could just be looking for people who will react in this way to feed their petty need for power, and if you don't give them what they want, they won't single you out. I don't see it being attractive people being targetted, not when it's 90 yr olds and handicapped children and such, so it looks more like power tripping.
I don't know, there are so many factors, and there could be so many reasons for each incident, The only way to stop them is to disband the entire thing and start over, using Israel as our model.
The bottom line is that no matter what the motivation, this is an abomination, and we need to stop it, before it spreads into the rest of our lives.

I have travelled extensively the last couple of years. TSA personel at SH Airport in Phoenix is the absolute worse.

Pasko,
I'll argue that the Seattle International get high ratings for the stupidity department.
I wanted a hand scan of a 10ML vial of clearly labeled, medical liquid. The rest of my stuff could go through x-ray, etc. For me asking for them to carrying that tiny little vial past the x-ray, I had to do the metal detector, porno-scanner and they did a hand search of all my stuff, plus the sniffer on the vial and wipe me down and use the sniffer.
On the outbound flight to Seattle it was "ok, no problem."

I will fly again when this happens. And only then. In the meantime, I will travel in my private vehicle. Period.

Why aren't the rest of the passengers/victims shouting "Down with TSA!" or something like that while she's standing up to them?
Docile b*st*rds.

It doesn't matter, Flynne. Eventually, they will be hitting highway rest stops and turnpike travel centers. They're already doing spot checks at train stations and bus depots.
Just wait 'til they hit hotel parking lots...

I still want to see what happens when a CCW holder who knows his rights meets up with a VIPR team.

But think of all the entry-level minimum wage jobs that will create!
(Yes, that's sarcasm.)

They'll hire illegals to do it at $2/hour.
