Another TSA Horror Story

One TSA horror story after another piles up. Innocent Americans are being harrassed and humiliated because our insane government refuses to profile MUSLIMS in airports, the people who are actually a terrorist threat. It’s deemed wrong to humiliate muslims by pulling them aside, however humiliating cancer patients is ok. Enough of this crap already. There needs to be a massive revolt. This administration is a nightmare on every level.

Man’s urostomy bag damaged during TSA pat-down; forced to fly with urine on him

Marc Schenker, Examiner

Man’s urostomy bag damaged during invasive TSA pat-down; forced to fly with urine all over him. A survivor of bladder cancer had his urostomy bag mishandled so badly during an inconsiderate TSA agent’s pat-down that it was unplugged, leaving him with urine trickling down his legs and his clothes soaked with urine. This incident of massive, government invasiveness occurred on November 7 as the man, retired teacher Thomas Sawyer, was making his way through Detroit Metropolitan Airport with his wife. All that Sawyer wanted to do—had a right to do as an American—was to make his way through the airport with some dignity intact as he looked forward to his trip to Orlando, Florida. However, a miserably untrained, arrogant and all-around inconsiderate TSA agent made sure he was humiliated instead.

Sawyer’s story is one that is, unfortunately, becoming all too common as more and more Americans, and international travelers, too, struggle to make their way through America’s airports in the wake of the genius TSA’s invasive and heavy-handed new rules regarding airport screening. It also illustrates why these invasive pat-downs and other techniques like the screening, which don’t even do anything to catch terrorists since they fail to detect things like liquids, are unconstitutional, an invasion of privacy, and a power the government has only assumed it has.
