Female senator tweets about 'very uncomfortable' screening by TSA (McCaskill)
The Hill ^

Posted on 03/11/2013 1:33:24 PM PDT by SMGFan

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) complained Monday she was subject to a very uncomfortable screening by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). McCaskill tweeted about the experience before boarding a flight on Monday.

The senator, who has complained about the TSA's security techniques in the past, tweeted that she was selected for a pat down and that the experience was not a pleasant one. "‪Today in my airport screening, test on my hands was positive," McCaskill wrote to her 89,100 followers. "Got private, more aggressive pat down. OMG. #veryuncomfortable‬."

I am sure she’ll take it up with Janet Napolitano to put in some measure that only non-liberals get these pat-downs in the future.

The obvious answer is private jets for all Senators and Congress members.

Ring up Bernanke and Lew to create the Baraqqi mini-bucks to pay for it.

She wasn’t concealing a handgun in a very private area, was she? After the recent story about the woman arrested, and found to be in possession of a “concealed” and loaded handgun, it would behoove TSA to do thorough “screenings”, especially of people such as McCaskill!

If she just would have paid the taxes on her private “corporate jet” she wouldn’t have to go through security like the rest of us bourgeois.

:: test on my hands was positive,” McCaskill wrote ::

For what substance?

That asked, I don’t think she fertilizes her own yard and it may be just a bit early in MO to start that for your lawn or flower beds.

She’s the one who got rid of her ~$2MM airplane after the fact that she’d “forgotten” to pay local property taxes on it became public knowledge.

She is lucky to be a Senator, but must still be scared to death of Conservative Missourians because she has spent the past 2 years backpedaling after the Obamacare fiasco. I say she is just tweeting to ‘show’ how she stands with the majority of Missourians.

Very uncomfortable?

I hope they searched her with a cattle prod.

She needed a stopover at the smoking lounge after. They couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.
