“As the TSA agent was frisking plaintiff, the agent pulled the plaintiff’s blouse completely down, exposing plaintiffs’ breasts to everyone in the area,” the lawsuit said.

As much as I hate these pat downs I'm calling this bogus. Bunch of scam artist out there wanting easy $$ in a lawsuit.

May of 2008? Why wait until now to file a suit? Something doesn’t sound right.

It doesn't matter if the story is true, what matters is that it could be true.

Did I actually say that?

What kind of breasts prompt uncontrolled laughter on sight?

The tiny-tittie brigade

It ain't the boobs; it's the "sharking". Look that word up at your own risk...

LOL...more of us got that than you think...:)

OTOH, that could be an ominous association...

It is time to kick the TSA’s ass. We need law enforcement making arrests for sexual assault and child molestation.

Apparently cops feel this is not an issue. We seriously need to get rid of the donut munchers. They serve us no purpose other than writing revenue tickets and shooting dogs.

No, the only funny boobs are those who accept at face value a story from one of Rupert's Aussie tabloids about a two year old incident involving a US citizen going to Amarillo, without mention of where it happened, who it happened to, names of the lawyers and where the suit was filed.

I saw this posted elsewhere from another source. I think the Aussie's just picked it up, and didn't include all the context.

The airport was in Corpus Christi. But predictably, I can't find it in the lame Corpus Christi Caller-Times website. Here's the article from Amarillo:

Smells like her attorney found just the right time to file a lawsuit.

Actually, if you go to the original source:

http://amarillo.com/news/local-news/2010-10-11/lawsuit-airport-search-indecent

The suit, filed earlier this year in Amarillo's U.S. District Court, alleges the woman was singled out for "extended search procedures" while preparing to board an aircraft destined for Amarillo on May 29, 2008.

The suit said the woman filed an administrative claim against the TSA, but the agency never responded, sparking the lawsuit.


Someone pointed me to a similar lawsuit by a flight attendant in NJ. It turns out that it's a long and arduous process to successfully sue a government agency. The administrative claim is the first step.

This is interesting. I just saw SandRat's post: TSA’s new motto: “You don’t det on, Until we get off.”

I laughed hard enough to make my liberal colleague turn in his seat to ask me. We entered a discussion on this, and I observed that, even though these types of stories and incidents are coming fast and furious in the last few days, I am reserving judgement on many of them until a few more facts come in. But I did relate an incident I read about where some TSA employees had taken a bunch of images from the whole body scanners and were looking at them, making copies, etc.

He looked at me with a look of disbelief and exclaimed "No. No way. They don't do that. There's no way..."

I looked at him over my glasses and said "You're 27. I am 53. I think I understand some aspects of human nature a little better than you, and I can tell you unequivocally that this is not only possible, but likely."

He said "But the images are locked down..." and I held up my hand and said "There are people who, even though they hold a job like TSA screener, have the desire to hack around and poke around at computers, ask around, figure out a way to get in. Someone has the keys to get to those images. They have to be able to archive them, save them or print them for legal purposes in case of litigation..."

The exchange really highlighted for me, the difference between liberalism and conservatism.

“..It wouldn’t be funny if it was your wife or daughter...”

You’re absolutely right, HereInTheHeartland...it’s NOT funny at all.

I’d make it real personal; as a matter of fact, the face of the person(s) that did it would be BRANDED into my memory, and I would make it my life’s MISSION to find them and return the favor.

Some things are worth going to jail for.

Or sheep versus sheepdogs, brother.

They just don’t get it. The wolves are at the door, and they’re ready to invite them in for lunch.

To my thinking, this is FuBO and his thug pals turning the screws to see how much we’re willing to put up with. Just my observation.
