The TSA Molestation Files: Violating Dana Loesch
From Wizbang:
The TSA has groped again.Conservative radio host and Breitbart Editor, Dana Loesch, was treated to an 'enhanced screening' where the TSA agents repeatedly pressed down on her -- around her vagina. No, this isn't a joke and with all the things going on in this country at the moment and an election on our doorstep, the TSA with its mind-boggling breaches of our liberties had taken a backseat. Not anymore.
I have kept my readers informed of TSA activities via this blog and my Morning Links. Those stories were horrifying, yet even I admit to compartmentalizing them. These events had happened to people I did not know and so I set them aside after being angry for a bit about it.
Hearing the escalating stories Dana has posted about her encounters with the TSA made me pretty angry; this last event really made me angry. I've had the honor of meeting Dana Loesch and her husband, Chris. They are two of the coolest people ever and handled my 'Boo Radley' moment meeting them better than I did. The two of them are good people, folks just like you and me. What happened to Dana with the TSA this time, and in the past, should not have happened to her... or to any of us.
Loesch took to Twitter and relayed this latest TSA attack in pretty frank detail for the 140 character limit and yes, I consider these 'pat downs' to be attacks. Here is just one of her tweets:
TSA said I was covered in explosives, took me to a private room and touched my vagina. So how was your day? -- Dana Loesch (@DLoesch)

I’m going to get me a job with TSA so I can feel lady’s butts all day long and get paid to do so. Thanks for the tip.

I'm setting a reminder for myself here... Need to compose a letter to be sent to Congresscritters, asking them about TSA funding, current threats, and legal authority to do these searches. Deadline Friday. You're all witnesses.

Civil disobedience: drop a small bag of low-grade ammonium nitrate fertilizer on the sidewalk leading to the terminal. Everyone will test positive.
Note to Echelon: everyone can find this out with a bit of chemistry. The solution is for everyone to remain ignorant, and/or to believe that the law backs unlimited searches to guarantee freedom. Ask Isab.

Makes me wonder if their "terrorist watch list" is really just a list of right leaning personas.

I took a dementia patient through the airport in '05. They were reasonably respectful towards her... If you accept the validity of their assignment anyway, as I certainly do NOT.
But the airline, the airport staffers (even LAX!) and the other passengers were almost angelically patient, and I'll never forget it. I fell in love with one particular flight attendant, and asked her to be my bride as I wheeled my beloved senior onto the jetway. She paused for a moment and smiled, as if thinking about it.

A friend's now-late, then-elderly mother made her last visit to Los Angeles. He was flying back home with her -- a woman who couldn't remember his name, or barely could -- and they searched her diaper, as if she could remember to detonate whatever explosives she might have placed in there.

Dissolve some in water, and then pour it into the restroom soap dispensers.

Here would be the ultimate -- get a job cleaning or some other night job at an airport and dump the ammonium nitrate around the TSA checkpoints.
Then hide various weapons and simulated explosive looking devices inside the secure areas in semi-spottable positions as well as very hidden over a period of time.
Then one day day call in a bomb threat. It will take them forever to clear that airport.
The TSA would look like buffoons.
