The incident has been attracting increasing media and online attention since the child's mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week.

Defending themselves doesn’t make it right.

TSA don’t need defending, they need DEFUNDING.

Brought to you courtesy of Big Government...you know, the “compassionate” ones, who want to make all your healthcare decisions for you.

Wake up, America.

Family Misses Flight After TSA Gives Pat-Down To Girl With Cerebral Palsy

TSA screeners at LAX arrested for narcotics trafficking, accepting bribes

This is nothing but security theater. TSA is nothing more than a Bush administration jobs program for the chronically unemployed.

Of course they did. Why don't they just go out and shoot peoples' dogs?

When we look back it started going to hell when Reagan was forced to take Bush One. And if we get Romney it will just continue.

The elections of 2010 mean nothing. The only hope is a true third party, er, I mean second party.

Why blame the civil libertarians???? I blame everyone who goes to the airport and voluntarily subjects themselves to the TSA. If everyone would simply boycott flying, then you would see some changes....dontcha think???

I could not agree with you more.

I am more appalled by the parents that would allow their children to be put through such horror. I have no sympathy for the whole fiasco. The fast answer to solve the issue is for everyone to stop flying. The sudden plunge in people flying would get quick action by the airlines. Instead, we confirm to big government that we the people are sheep to be herded. I refuse to fly. Period. And I will not fly as long as this mentality persists.

It’s conditioning for unquestioning obedience to authority. You know, like, “March into the showers.”
