TSA forces a 95 year old woman to remove adult diaper

http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/06/26/florida.tsa.incident/

It's like the TSA actively wants us to hate them. A 95 year old woman with cancer was given a pat down and was made to remove her diaper. I honestly have no words for this.

Perhaps others in OT do though.

Everyone should be searched. Ifthey aren't then some terrorist is going to wear an adult diaper and kill hundreds of people.

That's a bit much actually....LJS9502_basic

Is it? Terrorists have used pregant women before. It wouldn't be surprising if they used a ninety-five year old woman.

Alright then. Let's let senior citizens through with no issue. It's impossible for them to be terrorists.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] She's free to wear a diaper. However for the security for everyone she should be searched, We shouldn't have to wait for an elderly lady to suicide bomb a plane from her diaper before we can search the elderly.Nibroc420

Because we all know that terrorists aren't cruel enough to blow up an old woman... :roll:

People whining about the TSA get on my nerves. They're there for a reason...

U.S. airline passengers near the security checkpoint can be searched any time and no longer can refuse consent by leaving the airport, the nation's largest federal appeals court ruled Friday.

Thedecisionby the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the circuit's 34-year-old precedent that over time was evolving toward limiting when passengers could refuse a search and leave the airport after they had checked their bags or placed items on the security screening X-ray machine. Citing threats of terrorism, the court ruled passengers give up all rights to be free of warrantless searches once a "passenger places hand luggage on a conveyor belt for inspection" or "passes though a magnetometer."

It doesn't look like she has a case based on that.

Believe it or not,islamic suicide bombers are not the only threats to airports. I thought you were smarter than this.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] Different circuit but the 9th circuit of appeals ruled this in 2007:

Then what should we profile for? You were hinting towards stopping Middle Eastern people because that's where the greatest threat is at the moment.
