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.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.""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 ..."
National Opt-out day is next Wednesday. THE busiest day of the year for airports.
I thank God me and mine don’t have to fly that day. I’m predicting very ugly scenes in airports accross America.
Unless she is Muslim, there was no rationale for this.
I disagree, in part. The concentration camp guards are also culpable, even though they didn’t dream up the rule.
“just strip completely naked and make a huge scene. The more “less ideal” people do it the better”
I could just imagine the start of the “Airport Godiva movement”!
Image how much C4 you could pack into a full length prothesic leg.
Another dispicable act by our gov’t.
Many of the Americans assaulted by the TSA must be democrats.
If any good can come of this gov’t crime against The People, it will be that more Americans will desert the DemoRat Party.
The administration has deliberately and willfully decided it will not offend even ONE religion of peace member, but it doesn’t mind at all harassing and embarrassing millions of normal people.
What?
“Ve ver just followink orters”, isn’t a rational defense?
I’ll be. I thought those Nuremburg trial documentries were just propaganda.
Dang, I’ll have to stop listening to my Dog.

They must be just Democrats.
I just about fell out of my chair yesterday when I heard Lanny Davis, appearing on the Sean Hannity show, slip up and say that in order to insure HIS safety he didn’t mind if other people got this kind of treatment.

I will request to have the molestation to occur in public in front of everyone when I go to the airport in January. I will not go into the cancer machine and will submit to the grope because it is not practical for me to take a bus across the Pacific. The idea of going into a room with no witness for the required assault makes me a lot less comfortable than a public grope. Assault is what these people do and they are not the brightest folks in the world. The assaults can be too easily overdone even by TSA “standards.” This is the class of people that, in other venues, holds up convenience stores and kidnaps children.
If they found such an item and could see that it was not actually prosthetic they would have to assume that it is made of c4 and you would probably be thrown to the floor and cuffed.
The people who would take these jobs in the first place are deserving of all the contempt that can be mustered for them. They are the people who, were it not for these jobs, would be populating the police blotters around the country.
Oh, so they are allowed to see and touch a prosthetic, but not have the person remove it? Well all righty then. That’s different.
Um, one question though: if, in such a case, the prosthetic is a silicone one; how will the TSA moron know it’s not a liquid explosive? I’m assuming of course it’s over the 3.5fl oz. Limit for liquids.
Outside of actually piercing it and testing the fluid, how would they know?
Perhaps they should just confiscate such things. /s
I happen to know a couple TSA agents who would would positively disagree with you. As well as me.
Fine for them. If they wish to consort with those people they deserve no better.
Christ consorted with those people. According to your page, you are active in church. It’s my duty as a Christian to call you out on that.
I don’t see any mention of perverts in the New testament.
Then read it again after you take a couple of deep breaths. there is quite a a bit mentioned on that subject.
