Mother Of Child With Cerebral Palsy Says TSA Treated Daughter "Like Osama Bin Laden"
A TSA agent at JFK "started screaming at me and cursing me and threatening me," says a Long Island man who used his cell phone to videotape what he describes as an unnecessarily "aggressive" security screening of his developmentally disabled daughter. Dr. Joshua Frank, a Long Island pediatrician, is the father of Dina Frank, a girl with cerebral palsy who walks with crutches and leg braces. She can't pass through metal detectors for this reason, and is usually patted down by security agents, a procedure that frightens her. And the Frank family tells The Daily that on Monday the procedure was particularly harrowing.

Dina Frank: Adorable 7-year-old girl or dangerous terror threat?
This child abuse by the Obama government TSA agents was supposed to stop after a previous video of TSA groping a little child but Obama’s TSA continues to treat our little children as terrorists.

Unless they gave her complimentary food and drink, I would bet that they treated her much worse than they would have treated Osama Bin Laden.
The DHS has made it clear that all American citizens are potential, homegrown terrorists except the terrorists themselves. The TSA is just following along on that belief.
I’ve said it before until people just refuse to fly this will not STOP!
Everyone says, but if we don’t fly that will just hurt the airlines. BS! You think the government could standby and just let the airlines go broke? You think they could continue their fascist reign of terror in the face of such a rebellion?
But instead of standing up against it they continue to line up like sheep and then they want to bahhh about their treatment.
Before Obama, they were Bush’s TSA agents, a ridiculous overreaction to 9/11 that was good for the enemies of freedom, yet has failed to actually catch a hijacker. Disband the TSA, PROFILE all muslim passengers for terror links, and make flying a LITTLE more pleasant!
Undocumented Moslem Tyrant’s pro-Jihad pro-terrorist AG:
”Under your King's leadership
America is now a subsidiary of the Moslem Brotherhood
wholly owned by the PRC and terrorists who support the DNC.
As such, today, Jews and Christians, and especially crippled cracker children and elderly are our ONLY targets."
If these government bs-tards did this to one of my granddaughters and I was there then this old veteran would have to be taken away in handcuffs.

TSA Mistreating 7 Year Old Girl With Cerebral Palsy

By ROXANA HEGEMAN, Associated Press – 19 hours ago
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.
The incident has been garnering increasing media and online attention since the child's mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration is defending its agents, despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.
This April 14, 2012 photo provided by Lori Croft shows her 4-year-old granddaughter Isabella Brademeyer, in Wichita, Kan., where she was a flower girl at her uncle's wedding. Brademeyer and her mom passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident when the girl ran over to briefly hug her grandmother, Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm. TSA then insisted the girl also undergo a physical pat-down, putting the agency on the defensive despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children. (AP Photo/Lori Croft)
Doubtless saying, oh the kid grabbed some contraband off of the grandma... even if the reason for the grandma setting off the detector became obvious.
Did they even ask for or let the grandma hold the kid’s hand while this was going on (I doubt it)? Little children put through weird situations like this are likely to be behavior problems. Hopefully we will not have to wait until the girl is old enough to vote before there is kickback.
The TSA goons give us some sense of what the Nazis were like. Imagine having to deal with those vile creeps all the time.
Sweet little thing. This BS from these trashy pieces of excrement called the TSA has to stop! It’s about time that parents stop allowing their children to be dealt with like this.
Well, you know, I doubt if the (in)famous Dr. Spock would have recommended the girl be treated that way. Why aren’t screaming liberal child psychologists giving the TSA hell over this?
I don’t know, she looks somewhat like a terrorist.....and all those pumpkins...are they actually pumpkins or perhaps......who knows, we can’t be too careful. One pumpkin bomb could lead to ??? who knows??
Coming soon to more highways, football games, so on via TSA “VIPR” teams. Hardly a peep came out of the American sheep at the airports, so the jackboots know they can continue molesting and irradiating us.
While people are justifiably furious at this mistreatment, what is missing is leadership on the issue. Who will organize and lead a boycott? Which State and Federal elected officials will take a position? Which States will outlaw the TSA behavior?
“One pumpkin bomb”
You toss one a them babies in the air, it comes down squash.
A pumpkin from 30,000 feet is no laughing matter.
“As Big Bird is my witness, I thought pumpkins could fly!
Please don’t beat me anymore ... “ Dina Frank
Incredible, ain’t it? A little girl with a serious, disabling disease and they think she might be a terrorist.
TSA goons!
Truthfully, the last time I flew was pre 9/11. And it wasn’t a pleasant experience then. I can only imagine what it is now.
Between the TSA, the rudeness of most (not all) airline employees and the price...why take the chance? Heck I could be treated like a criminal by the TSA or left sitting on the tarmac for hours. Being the customer in this situation seems to be a moot point.
I feel so very sorry for the little girl in this story.
In Chechnya, Iraq and Israel, there have been several incidents of suicide bombs carried by disabled people. If we suddenly stopped screening certain passengers, they would no doubt use it to their advantage.
I think the TSA is incompetent and we definitely need better methods and more competent screeners. More behavior profiling and bomb sniffing equipment instead of groping.
Remember, it only takes a high explosive charge the size of a white-out bottle to bring down a plane with hundreds of people. Everything going on a commercial plane must be screened for explosives and I think groping is less effective than dogs or sniffer machines.
I felt abused as well last weekend, being fully patted down because I was a blonde mama wearing a baby in a front pack. Only I was picked out as suspicious. The TSA agent was decent enough but the fact that I was wearing a baby was what made me suspicious, and I resent that very much. I was steaming angry with tears after it was over.
I see from your profile that you are an engineer. Can you explain to this dumb ol’ pilot how and explosive charge the size of a white out bottle can take down a whole airplane? Does it take out all the engines? Does it take off a wing?
I also see that you are an American by choice. Welcome! Come on down to Texas and learn more about our great country.
Yes, the American people just no longer have any common sense to speak of.
see!!!!!! and at 30,000 feet who knows what could happen!
Major US Airport To Evict TSA Screeners
Orlando Sanford International could prompt stampede of other opt-outs

Wednesday, March 14, 2012
One of America’s busiest airports, Orlando Sanford International, has announced it will opt out of using TSA workers to screen passengers, a move which threatens the highly unpopular federal agency’s role in other airports across the nation.
“The president of the airport said Tuesday that he would apply again to use private operators to screen passengers, using federal standards and oversight,” reports the Miami Herald [1].
With Sanford International having originally been prevented by the TSA from opting out back in November 2010 when the federal agency froze the ability for airports to use their own private screeners, a law passed by the Senate last month [2] forces the TSA to reconsider applications.
West Yellowstone Airport in Montana has already replaced its TSA screeners with private security. Bert Mooney Airport, also in Montana, is attempting to do the same.
However, when Texas lawmakers attempted to pass a bill last year that would have outlawed invasive TSA pat downs, the feds threatened to implement a blockade [10] that would have imposed a de facto “no fly zone” over the lone star state.

This article is a lie. Orlando Sanford airport is not one of the busiest in the nation. Orlando International is. Orlando Sanford is KSFB. International is KMCO. Big difference.
Seeds everywhere, for one thing. And the pulp is really hard to wash out of your hair once it dries.
I haven’t flown since September 2001, and have no intention of doing so.
I actually always wanted to be a pilot but my vision is terrible. I never worked as an aircraft engineer but was always very interested in planes. Obviously nobody would release information that shows how much explosives are needed and where but here is why I think small explosives are so dangerous:
-An aircraft that flies to high altitude is basically a large cylindrical pressure vessel with comparatively very thin walls. The skin is 1-2mm, about as thick as a dime or quarter. The maximum pressure differential in flight is less than 10psi and airframes are typically pressure tested to only 150% of the maximum expected in flight. I don't know what the burst strength is but it cannot be much higher than 20psi for commercial airliners. Planes are designed to handle normal operating stresses and pressures at the lowest weight possible, not bombs. There is not much safety factor or overdesign in aircraft since weight is so crucial. I’m sure you know that an airframe can be overstressed just by flying too aggressively.
-A bomb creates a local high pressure zone around it several times higher than 20psi. The velocity of the explosion is almost 30,000fps. At cruising altitude, the walls are already loaded and a high explosive placed at the exterior wall is guaranteed to punch through with some degree. A jagged hole at cruising speed can quickly begin to tear and disintegrate the plane. How big of a hole and how damaging it will be depends on many factors. It can also punch through the floor and spark the center fuel tank. I didn't say a tiny charge absolutely will take down a plane. I'm saying it can.
We already have seen a few incidents that prove how damaging explosives are:
-The Lockerbie bomb was only 300 grams of mainly RDX. That is about 200cc, the volume of a small 6.7oz cup of water. It is believed that the bomb was concealed inside a walkman tape player. However, the bomb was randomly placed in the cargo hold inside a suitcase and not at the wall. RDX produces incredible pressure up close but has a smaller blast radius than some other explosives. This was also a 747 and large planes have more room for expansion. Even so, the bomb instantly blew multiple holes in the side of the cargo hold, the bulkhead, the floor and the roof of the 747. The plane disintegrated seconds after. A bomb of this size can be fairly easily hidden INSIDE someones body. No gropers or scanners will see it.
- Ramzi Yousef placed a small liquid bomb on a Philippine Airlines 747. The exact quantity was not calculated like in Lockerbie but he claimed that it was only 1/10 of a bottle of contact lens cleaner. This is only 1 to 1.5oz and judging by how much less damage there was compared to Lockerbie, this is an accurate estimate. It was placed under a seat away from the exterior and closer to the center of the plane because his intent was to hit the center fuel tank. It blew a man-sized hole in the floor, cut the control cables in the ceiling and completely blew off the lower half of the man sitting there. The plane did not go down because he miscalculated the location of the tank, placed it in the wrong seat and it was far from the blast radius. It was also was too far inside to punch an exterior wall.
A whiteout bottle is about 1oz. IMO, a crude high explosive of that size can bring down a plane under certain conditions. A shaped charge of that size most definitely will.
Nicely explained. I offer as a counter argument Aloha Airlines flight 243 of April 28, 1988.
When overstressed as a whole with uniform exterior/interior pressures, the fuselage has breakaway points that are designed to allow the plane to remain in flight after the overpressure is explosively released. The structure adjacent to these points is reinforced and designed to keep the plane structurally intact and relatively controllable at a designed airspeed. You can see in this photo how the break was relatively symmetrical with respect to two axes, balancing the forces. It was also opposite the tail control surfaces and this would allow the greatest possible leverage to keep the plane level against the forces generated by this break. If the moment (force X distance from axis) generated by an aerodynamic disturbance is greater than the maximum moment from a fully deflected control surface, you lose control in that axis.
A bomb creates a local pressure at a random or specifically selected point. The break is unlikely to be symmetrical or surrounded by reinforcement. The holes created by the Lockerbie bomb were far smaller than on this flight, but proved instantly catastrophic.
Sir, you need to get out of the environmental business and become an aeronautical engineer.
