i dont she had the option at that time. this is a little older from last year i believe. I take you dont have kids or know someone with kids. if my niece was taken like that i would be in jail for hitting some people. A child should never be taken out of sight of their parent by a stranger. Especailly one that will be expected to search said child


I have kids and was referring to the OP's video not the blog entry from the mother.

That story is different and I would have been forced away by authorities as no-one would have walked away with my kids.


sorry got the two mixed up

There is now at least one story of a woman who got screened by having the agent's hands down her underwear...

By the way, this does exactly nothing to prevent terrorism. If someone is willing to do a suicide bombing, they can shove up to 1 kg of explosives up their rectums, which these scanners and pat downs won't detect:

“The explosive yield of one kilogram of plastic explosives is 20-25 percent higher. If, for example, a terrorist will lean his butt against an airplane wall, it can blow up and cause depressurization of the aircraft. A catastrophe will be inevitable.

"Terrorists believe that in a crowd “rectum explosion” is not very effective. It can kill one or two people close to a suicide bomber and badly injure and burn three or four people, who would survive. But if plastic explosives are filled with cut nails, screws and other metal components, the effect will be different. A terrorist’s butt will “spit out” the metal fragments in a 30 to 40 degree area and will injure many people,” bomb technician Andrey Semipalov said."

Wut? And you'd thought they'd go no further than groping your balls...

When is cavity search next?



I just got a brilliant idea for baby and elderly terrorists: gun cotton diapers!  O-)

What an inane argument. These TSA agents are doing things not even allowed by law enforcement agencies when they have due cause. Just because you're okay with being scanned and having a nude image rendered doesn't mean that everyone else should be.

So you'd rather just rely on metal dectectors than a machine when used properly doesn't display a real nude image of you nor does it store that image?

The pat down is too much and I would demand to see the specific reasoning to why I required such an invasive action. But the really shitty image of my undetailed body is perfectly fine.

They should follow the lead of Israel they dont treat everyone like a terrorist 



So, if the scanners can show your junk, if I put out a middle finger, would it come out clearly in the picture too? I'mma have to start doing that. Freedom of speech =)
