TSA Creeps Force Cancer Survivor to Expose Prosthetic Breast
Nanny State Liberation Front ^ | November 19, 2010 | NSLF

WBTV-3 in Charlotte, N.C., is reporting that a flight attendant who is also a breast cancer survivor was forced by TSA creeps last August to expose her prosthetic breast during one of their so-called pat-downs:

[Cathy Bossi] says two female Charlotte T.S.A. agents took her to a private room and began what she calls an aggressive pat down.  She says they stopped when they got around to feeling her right breast… the one where she'd had surgery.

"She put her full hand on my breast and said, 'What is this?'.  And I said, 'It's my prosthesis because I've had breast cancer.' And she said, 'Well, you'll need to show me that'."

Cathy was asked to show her prosthetic breast, removing it from her bra.

"I did not take the name of the person at the time because it was just so horrific of an experience, I couldn't believe someone had done that to me.  I'm a flight attendant.  I was just trying to get to work ..."

A TSA representative told WBTV that "agents aren't supposed to remove any prosthetics, but are allowed to ask to see and touch any passenger's prosthetic."

When transgender passengers are “revealed”, this matter will be put to rest by the ACLU and BLTG happy people.

When all is said and done with this travesty of justice on a mass scale, many many people should be either imprisoned or executed, and I do not mean the low-level gropers, but those that create policy. They have directly opposed the freedoms our Nation was founded upon.

But hey, this gives me an idea. Can I affix a penile prosthetic to my thigh, just to gross them out?

Well it's settled then. Prosthetics make the perfect location for hiding explosives.

If you do, don’t be compliant like the flight attendant. Tell them if they want to see it, they’ll have to go in after it.

Aside from everyone dressing like Osama when they are at the airport, the other way to fight this is to just strip completely naked and make a huge scene. The more “less ideal” people do it the better.

I think the more this stuff goes viral, the less of it we’ll get.

“Can I affix a penile prosthetic to my thigh, just to gross them out?”

Are you sure they’d be grossed out and not disappointed at the discovery?

Seriously folks, we don’t need to direct our anger at the TSA agents. We need to direct it at the government. That is where all the blame belongs.
Don’t direct anger at the people, who probably don’t like what they have to do, but are doing it because they have to or lose their jobs.

I think that she can sue for a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

What if this had happened to your mother/wife/sister/daughter? Is this just another c’est la vie moment for us to be submissives in the United States?

If this Shiite doesn’t end soon, someone in a VERY BAD MOOD is going to clock a TSA Nazi and that will cause a riot in the airport. That’ what it’s going to take to end this abomination. Our rights are already taking abetting. We don’t have to tolerate these violations as well.

It would be up to them. I know my wife wouldn’t be upset because she has a prosthetic breast and she thought the look on the TSA lady’s face was both surprise and apologetic.
