Disgusting Abuse Of 58-Year-Old Woman By TSA
This is America? The America you want to live in? Watch what happened to San Diego's Maggie Buckenmeyer at the TSA checkpoint in Birmingham, Alabama, and speak out about it.
As she says, "This needs to be stopped. Why the TSA is allowed to emotionally and sexually abuse passengers...I don't get it. If some stranger did to me what one of these TSA agents did, that stranger would be convicted of sexual assault and sent to prison":
Via Lisa Simeone, who writes at TSANewsBlog:
Americans are tolerating this abuse. I don't know what to say anymore, other than to repeat what I've said so many times: TSA administrator John Pistole is a criminal. He has instituted criminal procedures that his underlings follow, that our politicians endorse, and that millions of Americans tolerate.I give up. I've run out of words. So I'll let the words of civil rights crusader Frederick Douglass do the talking:
Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
Centralized bureaucracies often devolve into abuse or inaction. We need a "decimate" plan, where after a certain level of abuse/inaction is reached, a mob is formed and randomly shoots 1/10 of the bureaucrats.

Apparently there's a petition out for her? I don't have the link and so far haven't been able to find it. If someone can provide, please do. It's not that I think petitions do anything to effect change, but they're a way of showing moral support for the person in question and getting the word out to others.

Just as disgusting as expected. What is sad is I expect that she is only one of 50K that complained in public.
I signed the petition, for what little good it will do.

She is not the first person this has happened to. How awful -- to be told you have an abnormality in your genitals by some creepy government worker being paid to grope you without any evidence you've committed a crime. These people are earning money for violating our rights and are horrible and should be told so at every opportunity. When you pass a TSA worker in the airport, say something -- tell them they take money for violating people's rights. They do not get to do this -- violate our rights and our genitals for money -- and have it not cost them.
People look down on prostitutes, but prostitutes take money for providing sexual services to consenting adults who want them. I see nothing wrong with that.
