Which is all fine and good if you ignore the fact that this country was founded on the principles of individual liberty, freedom and the general desire for the Federal government to fuck off.

Crap like this goes against our national DNA.
We're specifically protected against this sort of thing in the 4th amendment.

I don't care what they do in Belgium and long as those monks keep cranking out beer.

some of the comments on youtube are shocking on that video

"Next time dress the kid in a burka and the tsa won't touch him"
"Muslims are exempt from these searches? Then they should not be allowed to fly! Is the US under Obama going completely insane????"

One woman, breast cancer survivor, is forced to remover her prosthetic breast even though the TSA says that nobody is ever required to remove prosthetics.

Another man, a bladder cancer survivor, has his urostomy bag seal broken even after tell the TSA agent that it was there. The seal broke, and the man was left soaked in his own urine.

This is insanity. Now they're trying to make you go through security to enter the country after you've already flown? That's completely against the law.

A US citizen cannot be denied entry to the country once they prove identity,citizenship, and handle the appropriate customs declarations.

Apparently it makes perfect sense to hand search a woman in her underwear for OVER AN HOUR and cause her to miss her flight and come back the next day.

Anyone want to try and defend this?

Was she hot?

So her chair had traces of something connected to explosive making? Seems reasonable to play it safe and hold her for testing etc. Plus, it's not like the TSA guys stripped her and made her sit in public like that, she did. Seems like a bitchy move that back fired on her.

You know where nitrates can come from?

Plants. Processed meats. Heart medication. Rural groundwater.

There's plenty of naturally occurring sources for nitrates. It shouldn't have taken the TSA over an hour to make sure a woman in a bra and panties didn't have a hidden bomb, and there were no illicit substances on her wheelchair or in luggage.

If they REALLY suspected that she had bomb parts, would they have just said 'come back tomorrow'? No effing way.

Eh, they could have also said "can you use one of our courtesy wheelchairs"?
