The Federal government is stealing our fundamental privacy rights through the TSA and The Patriot Act, and yet we worry more about whether a state should issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. Our elected officials distract us with wedge issues and party politics, so that we don't see that they are robbing us of our hard earned income and stealing our hard fought liberty. And we have become unwitting accomplices.

It's a little disconcerting seeing a young child being frisked. And I don't think it was necessary at all. I don't like it one bit.

But the TSA agent was professional and handled an obviously uncomfortable situation with class, dignity, and decorum. She was just doing her job. I don't fault her. I fault the policy makers.

If we stop searching kids or grandparents, the terrorists will just plant stuff on their kids or grandparents.

We either randomly search everyone, and I do mean everyone - or we profile like the Israelis do. For a host of reasons we don't have the stomach to profile like the Israelis do, so this is what we get.

I agree. That's what they are paid to do. Every single time I have been physically searched, they have stated very clearly and in a loud voice for everyone to hear about what they are going to do next. There was no groping or surprise feel up.

The little girl in that vid seemed to be stressed at first, but support from the mother and the TSA agent explaining what she is doing seemed to calm her down.

It just seems that some people like to bitch about stuff like this.

Alright, I am going to bitch too! My problem is not at all about the security checks. It is that plane departures are pretty much scheduled events. Wouldn't it be relatively easy to get enough security screening people in place a few hours before departure? I just don't understand having to wait in a queue for more than an hour waiting on a security check.

You're talking about the gub'mint here.

Once I flew back into the US, and there were literally (not figuratively) about 500 people waiting in the US citizen passport control line. Someone was complaining, and I said - "Hey, it's not like they know when all these planes are going to show up. Oh wait, they do."

This is a big assumption of something that is yet to ever happen. I believe the phrase is 'scaremongering'. Well, *shrug*, if you really think the terrorists are under your bed, then RUN! Jump out your window and run and don't look back!

Have these terrorists ever done this? Do they get to go to heaven with 40 virgins awaiting if they do this? If we have the 'stomach' to have adults frisking children (behavior that would normally get that adult thrown in jail and permanently listed as a sex offender), then we have the stomach to profile.

If the TSA concentrated on the likely suspects it would be much more effective, it would be seen as lot more of a professional organization, and it would garner a LOT more respect. If there is ever even one incident where a bomb is planted on a six-year old or in a 95 year old's adult diaper then fine, scaremonger away and scrap the constitution. Until such time, lets be reasonable and get the job of appropriate security done right.

Correlation does not equal causation. They have dropped the ball and gotten lucky the bombs did not work. So it's not working. And for all of the resources wasted on this, violations of personal space, etc there are still terrorists and they can still easily enter this country through our borders and smuggle things in through our ports. But good thing we're focusing our time on touching up kids and grandparents.

Something tells me if there was an attack you would say it's proof we need even more searches.

Uh, Israel has one commercial airport. Essentially, you are asking to grant profiling abilities to a group of people (the TSA) with existing issues in regards to being able to make reasonable decisions. Replicating Israel's airport security in this country would cost billions of dollars to address what is at this point a non-problem.

BOO! GOTCHA!


I just don't think that scaremongering has any use in catching and stopping these people. We know what kind of people they employ, we know their tactics, and we know why. It's not a secret and they aren't keeping it such.

If/when they decide to forsake their 40 virgins in heaven and start strapping bombs onto children and old women, even once, then we should respond accordingly. Searching everyone diffuses the efforts and results of the TSA immensely and wastefully, even, at times, embarrasingly.

And any parent that lets some stranger under any guise feel up their young daughter is either 1) Crazy - "You think my small daughter may have a bomb? *shrug* Maybe you're right. Go for it." or 2) A failure as a parent - "You want to feel up my young daughter for insert reason. *shrug* "Sure, go ahead."
Or both.

Respectfully, I have to disagree. Calling parents either crazy or failures by allowing their young daughter to submit to a standard security search is probably not going to help, at all, in my expediting my trip through security.

I don't know if you travel much, ouflak, but this type of security check is pretty standard around the world, especially on international flights of US carriers. US carriers will have their own security check before boarding if they think that the screenings were insufficient at overseas airports.

I suppose that they just had to do it to at least give a peace of mind to travelers who were probably already paying a premium on the air fare. I honestly don't trust discount airlines and that is for mechanical reasons and not terrorism reasons.

Honestly, I was a little critical of the mass hysteria after 9/11. To some degree, it was quite understandable. I just thought that almost every country in the world has to face some form of terrorism and Americans will have to deal with it in the future too. I also thought that the future terrorism attacks were more likely to be home-grown than imported. Or, maybe we have all watched too many Hollywood spy movies with sleeper cells in the US.

I think that the big issue here is more about the insurance companies and the very powerful army of US lawyers. The US federal, state and municipal governments and the corporate sector have to go to extra-ordinary lengths to say that they did their best in case something ever does happen.

Yeah, I agree. The politicians are largely lawyers. And, some of the lawyers are, in effect, and in a very broad use of the term - terrorists.

Do you think Ridge or Nappy thought it would be funny? I mean seriously, if it served no purpose, why would anyone want this to be done? Maybe they want CNN to cover it, and cover the outrage that comes with it. Maybe, just maybe it's about perception...not necessarily catching terrorists but demotivating them from ever trying.

It is a complete and utter waste of your time that they are *even checking* young children and incontenent old women. It waste's the TSA's time, it lowers, if not completely removes, any respect they might deserve. It makes our 'security' look like a joke, a joke that has some serious moral, legal and perhaps constitutional issues.

Since 9-11 I have traveled to over a dozen countries, 3 that had terrorist attacks before I traveled to them (Spain after train bombings, India after the Hotel attack, and I was living in the UK when they bombed the buses/underground. Still am). I have done atleast 3 dozen business and pleasure trips since 9-11. I've only ever been frisked when traveling in the U.S.. This is only my own personal experience. There are perhaps others who have had different experiences in their international travels. Maybe I've gotten lucky somehow.

If I was instead a muslim, of the same age, sex, and my particular skin tone, I'm rather certain I would have had the appropriate scrutiny I deserved traveling to most if not all of these countries. I might just have been let through an American security checkpoint since they were all busy frisking christians, invalids, children and the like.

TSA says the 95 year old cancer victim is a lying whore.


The Transportation Security Administration is now denying a Florida woman's claim that agents forced her 95-year-old mother to remove her adult diaper in an airport screening.

Jean Weber filed a complaint with the TSA over the weekend regarding the incident.

She insists her mother, who suffers from leukemia, underwent an invasive pat-down at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport more than a week ago.

During the search, an officer told her that her mother's adult diaper - which was soiled - needed to be removed and inspected, Weber contends.

The older woman, whose name has not been released, was in a wheelchair at the time.

A TSA spokesperson told CNN on Sunday that officers at the airport "acted professionally, according to proper procedure."

On Monday, the TSA added that security personnel "did not require this passenger to remove an adult diaper." According to the Boston Globe, the TSA said this was something not made clear in the initial statement given to CNN.

The TSA would not discuss specifics about the incident, citing privacy concerns. In a statement on Sunday, the agency indicated wheelchairs often spark pat-downs.

The agency has repeatedly come under fire for its screening procedures at airports. Many argue the searches, which include revealing full-body scanners and hands-on body searches, are an invasion of privacy.

TSA Administrator John Pistole recently announced that security officers must try to avoid patting down children.

they're taking away my mojito wine coolers - and I DON'T LIKE IT!

Just make sure you buy more by 9 PM Saturday, or you're SOL for the 4th.

A Nigerian man got on a cross country flight out of JFK without a ticket and using a student ID and you think it's a sign of success. I'm glad I'm not arguing such an asinine position.

Let's not forget, the Christmas bomber 18 months ago was a Nigerian man. The only reason that attack did not succeed was that the bomb did not go off. But to you that's proof TSA did a good job!

Considering my POI gets stopped by security every friggin time we go anywhere and I'm the Arab, I think they're idiots.

Part luck, part good intelligence. I really don't think TSA has done a whole lot to scare the terrorists.

wait, you're an arab?
