TSA stands by officers after pat-down of elderly woman in Florida (Forced to remove underpants)

This isn’t just against white people.

I flew through Houston Intercontental a couple of weeks back. The TSA was targeting all grannies in line. Full feel up inspections. The head thug was very abusive to the people waiting to be nudy xrayed. I was nudey exrayed, patted down and was detained for about 10 minutes because I had a hankercheif in my pocket. While following orders from the stasi, I watched about 20 elderly women get the full treatment. I was also told to stop watching. I caught sight of a pair of young arab looking males. They went through like a breeze.

This whole tsa crap is about harrassment to Americans. The TSA, Janet, baraq and the rest of the Party are actively harrassing Americans and giving the young arab males a pass.

Can’t reach any other conclusion that the Party has chosen to side with the terrorists.

Americans of 40years ago would’ve long ago told the Feds where to stick it with this nonsense!!

"...The moral of the story: "Shut up and take, sheep. We are your God, GOVERNMENT, and we can do no wrong."...

Man was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and this story and others like it demonstrate the complete lack of conscience on behalf of the TSA and their violations to our persons and bodies. It is an offense to God's creation therefore to the Lord Himself.

They are in for a rude awakening on the current path they are on. I pray they all repent. One day the Lord will hold us all accountable for our actions, behavior and attitudes. Unless they know The advocate (Jesus Christ) they will be found guilty as charged.

Romans 14:11-12

"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

The TSA stated conducting full-body pat-downs in August of 2004 after two female Islamic suicide bombers killed 89 people in two Russian airliners. After thousands of complaints, they amended this to back and sides only, with partial frontal pat-downs, with no exceptions for older people using walkers. After the underwear bomber, they restored the full frontal pat-down and made the groping even more intrusive, bringing us to what we have to deal with today.

Again, if you think TSA pat-downs began in 2009, you do not know what you're talking about. The TSA has ignored the presumption of innocence and the personal dignity of passengers since it was created.

Not necessarily problems as in lose control. I took care of an elderly family member that once her mind was gone some wasn’t hesitant to use flatulence as an offensive weapon!

“Again, if you think TSA pat-downs began in 2009, you do not know what you’re talking about.”

That’s the second time you’ve written that to me. I let it slide the first time, but this time suggest you go back to the beginning of this discussion, and try like “H” to find where I stated this all only began in 2009. You are trying to put words in my mouth so to speak, and that tells me something about you.

Are you deliberately screwing up the point that the Muslims are today walking through these Obama Administration TSA exercises at the airports while little old ladies, and children primarily Caucasian apparently are being harassed by the TSA?

For what reason do you find it so necessary to defend Obama, and his TSA Obamanation of today? I don’t understand where you are going with this when the facts are all around you.

This TSA behavior fits the definition of elder abuse. And they left her without an undergarment on to travel? I hope the family sues the TSA’s pants off. The incident defines what our nation’s government has become under Obama. A complete lack of regard or respect for human dignity or compassion.

You stated that the "degradation of the (TSA) concept" occurred only during the Obama administration. I'm saying the concept was bad from day one and has only gotten worse under Obama. Like every government bureaucracy, it will only continue to grow and reach for more power and control.

For what reason do you find it so necessary to defend Obama, and his TSA Obamanation of today?

Are you serious? I'm not defending Obama, whose administration has been a disaster for this nation - I'm saying that getting Republicans back into office isn't going to be enough to end the TSA madness, since they started it. Pressure needs to be put on both Democrats and Republicans to roll back the TSA.

[rockinqsranch]

I’m beginning to understand you now. You pick up something I said in the second response to make your point for the first response, so that means you are now having to think.

So all these headlines, all these outrageous articles about Obama’s TSA are everybody’s fault, NOT just the Democrat’s currently in power eh. Sounds like you are reading from the book.

You’re grousing about the Republicans having started the TSA, when their attitude wasn’t about POWER, but for National Security after we had been attacked, and almost 3000 people killed, and our vulnerability exposed.

The Left is looking at POWER using National Security as a ruse to justify their POWER GRAB.

Note the Left, the Democrats are grabbing POWER everywhere they can in our government, and turning it against “we the people”?

So, I disagree that “Pressure needs to be put on both Democrats and Republicans to roll back the TSA.” The only way we can achieve our goals is to cut the Democrats out of everything just like the Republicans currently aren’t allowing Pelosi to sit, stall, and “contribute” her worthlessness, and push the Republicans to achieve what we the people want.

The Leftist, Socialist-Democrats don’t work for us, and we’d better face that fact. They work for themselves, and their agenda.

At least currently we can find Republicans willing to work with “we the People”.

Give the attitude a rest - you didn't understand what you read and became argumentative. Fine, but don't try to make your reading comprehension issues my problem.

So all these headlines, all these outrageous articles about Obama’s TSA are everybody’s fault

And this is precisely why it seems like history started for you sometime in 2009. Were you asleep for the rest of the decade while complaints about the TSA's practices mounted?

, NOT just the Democrat’s currently in power eh. Sounds like you are reading from the book.

And you sound like an RNC hack. If the Republican Party isn't willing to be the party of limited government and abide by conservative principles, then the Republican Party is just the lesser of two evils. What did you think the Tea Party movement is about, putting the same "compassionate conservatives" back in office?

You’re grousing about the Republicans having started the TSA, when their attitude wasn’t about POWER, but for National Security after we had been attacked, and almost 3000 people killed, and our vulnerability exposed.

Nonsense - you want to absolve the Republicans for their contribution to this. We already know the Democrats never met a government program or an opportunity to intrude on the rights of Americans they didn't like, but it was Republicans - supposedly the party of limited government power - that started the TSA and it's security theater, along with the Dept. of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act. And without pressure from concerned citizens, they won't do a thing to reverse what the TSA is doing.

You keep putting words into my mouth that I didn’t say, and haven’t any intention of saying. I’m not going to waste anymore time on this one.
