Strip-Searched Grandma Says TSA Removed Her Underwear

[LuvRPgrl]

This story stinks to high heaven.

PS I would be SHOCKED if there isn't a video of the woman being searched. That's pretty much standard operating procedure for 2 reasons.

1. Provide video evidence in case a trial is necessary

2. Provide video evidence in case of claims like this.

so why no video????????????? What are they hiding, what are they afraid of?

[LuvRPgrl]

I I don't believe ANYONE has ever been told to strip down without VERY good cause IE a dog hit for drugs or explosives.

so, guilty until proven innocent,.?
You actually believe nobody has ever been strip searched erroneously?
So, that means if the TSA THINKS you are guilty, then you are, by your standards.

Here is part of the problem right here. You have fliers, old ladies even, being rude to TSA and just what expecting them to take it and be all smiles and lollipops? I wonder if the lady had been polite and explained her situation had things played out differently. Not to say I agree with her being strip searched, but two wrongs don't make a right either.

so here is a classic example of CH double speak out of both sides of his big mouth. The fliers are wrong because they are being rude, but, at the same time, I dont support strip searches. This way, no matter what you say, I can claim either I agree with you or I dont. And if you claim I said something, I can show you where I just said the opposite, no matter which side it's on.
.....So, I must smile and be polite if I dont want to be strip searched? What the hell is that? Why should I be smiling at someone who is making me wait in line for hours, arrive 3 hours before my departure time, will take away the most inane, stupid things like toe nail clippers, tweezers, and my shoes? Why should I smile if , against my will, they are going to go through my most personal of possesions? No way jose, fuck them, and fuck you. I harrass them as much as I can, cuz even when I didnt, they still did all those searches.
........AND CLAIMING WE EXPECT THEM to be all smiles and lollipops is a lie, I dont give a rats ass if they smile, just dont stick your fucking finger up my ass looking for bombs, and humiliating me. And yea, RAPE is about humiliation, thats why often they use an object to put up the anus of the victim. Its about humiliation, and if you arent humiliated by someone sticking their finger up your ass, while hundreds of people are on the other side of a 3/4 wall, simply because I didnt smile at them while they go through my most personal of possesions in public, then you are the biggest lemming of them all.

As if this thread exists in a vacuum? I think this old lady is lying. I also think that some people go into airports looking to piss off the TSA hoping to get a bad reaction. If THOSE people went away then we would see less of the real problems. It's that simple.

so, if a TSA employee gets pissed at someone, for legitimate reasons, OR NOT, then they have the right to strip search that person? Wouldnt it make more sense that the person isnt a terrorist IF they hassled a TSA empolyee and brought attention to themselves? Terrorists dont work that way, they want to blend in, unseen, un noticed. Thats basic terrorism 101.
But they like exercising their power at times because wifey or hubby didnt suck them off last night.

CH, c'mon man, its been 4.5 minutes now, are you running away? no answers???

[LuvRPgrl]

Hundreds of thousands of people manage to fly every year without encountering ANY problems with the TSA, so this acting like they just can't do anything right is silly. Nothing they do is going to prevent EVERY bad encounter from happening.

Now I notice YOU refuse to admit that yes in fact there are people who go out of there way to provoke the TSA.

ok, sorry about this folks, but Im trying to do the multi quote thing.
You consider having to arrive 2-3 hours early isnt a problem????
Nobody said they cant do anything right, they do quite well at taking breaks,

THIER, NOT THERE, and so what? Is it illegal to be rude?

[ConHog]

which part of your brain are you using, cuz most of it isnt working dude.
I didnt say any;thing about cops being guilty until proven innocent.,
But the cops are responsable for making sure that if anything happens, there will be evidence of it, not some locked up little room with no video. Why no video?
.
.What are they trying to hide? The cops always say, if you are going to hire an attorney, then you must be guilty cuz your trying to hide something, if you were innocent, then you wouldnt hire an attorney.
So why dont they have cameras taping the searches, what are they afraid of showing?

So now you're putting words in cops mouths to, not just mine?

Here is a classic example of CH talking out both sides of his mouth. What he says above allows him to claim he is opposed to what the TSA (TOTALLY SICK ASSHOLES), OR on the other hand, he can claim the fliers are wrong cuz they are rude to the TSA.
R U SURE you arent a politician?
So, anyways, there IS NO FUCKING LAW THAT SAYS I SHOULD SMILE at someone forcing me to stand in line for hours, taking aways stupidly pathetic things like tweezers and toe nail clippers and shoes, and going through all of my personal stuff, FUCK YOU, AND FUCK ;THEM, I harras them as much as I can.

But hey, I fully understand, maybe they have had a bad hair day, you cant expect them to act professional all the time, and they do have to stop them terrorists,,, but I really dont support them doing strip searches.

Nope, Im repeating what I hear over and over again. And you know its what they think, even if they dont say it.

More of your lies? I have not once said I oppose the TSA. I HAVE said that I think some of their policies are stupid, and that some of their employees have no business being federal agents.

Wow, now that I didn't read. Where did this occur? I didn't know they were or did perform any type of cavity searches. THAT I would put on par with a sexual offense and the TSA should be sued. Which airport was this?

A strip search isn't akin to rape. Good grief............. Now if they did a cavity search you MIGHT have a point.

CH, when does it become wrong in your book? Which of your kids would you have molested by TSA agent? Is that the only point where it becomes bad, or severe overreach? It doesn't matter how many people pass unmolested. It's unreasonable search, CH, unless you've given up on the constitution.

They've more than a decade now, and they've only gotten worse, not better, and still no closer to stopping the crap they're advertising they're protecting us from. Even if they found a suicide bomber, what would happen? Um, here's a thought, but why wouldn't the guy willing to die to blow people just detonate the bomb in the airport then, thus dying to blow people up? Are the rent-a-cops at the baggage check or security gate really going to be able to stop him?

Unresonable? Even if I agreed with you, and I'm not sure I don't, any constitutional claim is waived by virtue of the fact that you can entirely avoid thes
e searches by NOT FLYING.

Oh, and I'll remind the class that even if they did have a right to fly. the Court has already ruled in Sitz that unreasonable searches are okay as long as the inconvenience is kept to a minimum in relation to the safety provided by such searches.
