1. Amazingly stupid policy, but at least the TSA person . . .

Was professional and made sure the kid and her mother knew exactly what was happening. I've seen worse, where the TSA agent was clumsy or stupid or insensitive.

[Dash87]

2. Like that video where the kid was screaming, and the TSA worker

was forcefully doing the search. That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I think that person was doing it just to be an A-Hole.

[seabeyond]

15. yes, she did well teaching child to spread 'em and be searched. we can be proud. she was

sensitive.

[JDPriestly]

23. Child molestation in my opinion. That is simply not necessary. It is

going too far. Why was this child picked out of the crowd? Was there some evidence of a problem?

[Pharaoh]

3. WTF!

nazi's!

[Yupster]

4. And the worst part is

that I have zero confidence that they would actually catch someone trying to sneak a pistol onto a plane.

Incredible waste of money.

[valerief]

20. No, no, no. The bulk of the money is going to a very rich person, so it's not being wasted.

You see, the most important thing in the world is for rich people to get richer. Tax money goes the rich person and the rich person uses a little of that welfare handout to provide feeler-upper jobs to otherwise unemployed people. See how it works? It's all good. The rich person is getting a lot richer. That's all that matters.

5. It is not

to make us safer, it is to accustom us to being searched from an early age. Welcome to the United Police States of America.

[seabeyond]

13. exactly. train them well to take it. but then they can start with adults and look how many willing

to allow this invasion.

a country of COWARDS

[PDJane]

6. It's theatre.......

it's not going to make anyone safer, because it misses to much. It's just to accustom everyone to a police state America.

If they were trying to make the world and the US safer,they would stop trying to expand the empire and devote more time and energy to alleviating poverty.

It's not going to happen.

[greiner3]

7. And the cmmon mantra of moms and days everywhere;

Is don't let strangers touch you in private places. That's out the window.

On the other hand, these searches are not strictly racial and religious profiled; yet.

[snappyturtle]

8. That's bullshit. When will enough be enough? nt

[walerosco]

9. but

we would all get used to it in a few months :) The security state keeps growing un impeded and where is Obama in all of these. These are the areas where he can make a big difference without the votes of 1 single republican.

[Divernan]

11. What does he care? Nobody's groping his daughters on Air Force One.

[Daphne08]

10. This is America?? n/t

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Damn Bush and this security theatre.

And no, I don't think that the TSA agent made it any better by her "professionalism"
Disgusting.

[seabeyond]

14. nation of COWARDS. this disgusts me. people that approve/allow disgust me. nt

[midnight]

16. I do not support the destruction of our rights to move freely

in our country...

[Dokkie]

17. I will like to know

how much all these gimmicks are costing the US? The machines, the extra agents, the delays, the stress and anguish.

[seabeyond]

19. not to mention the people that have stopped flying. we have. we use to fly often

we wont. we drive. across country. i am really liking that choice. hubby has to take more time off work, more time together. works for us.

screw the airlines

[Guilded Lilly]

18. Shaking my head. Just...shaking my head.

[walerosco]

21. Oh my

I finally got around to watching the video and how in the world could that small, skinny kid wearing skin tight clothing be hiding anything? Just use some common sense would make the world 1000x safer. The sad part is that the poor lady would probably lose her job if she didnt pad the kid.

[joanbarnes]

22. I don't know, but I feel safer already....NOT

[tomm2thumbs]

24. doesn't make sense

I can't judge what set off the alarm to check the kid, but my guess is they were a little more worried about what the parents might have hidden on the child than anything she hid herself. People use their kids for lots of things.



I feel bad for all the little kids that are used for things they know nothing about.

[snort]

25. Fuck this pig run pig state.

Fuck the pig minded who go along because they are cowards.

[TatonkaJames]

28. I'm with ya

Whole country is fucked up.

[hourglass1]

26. absolutely ridiculous

if the baggage isn't scrutinized this thoroughly, there is no
point in this other than to make you submit and teach your
children to submit. period.

just got back from a trip to hawaii from asia ... i told the
agent it was more hassle going from island to island than to
get into the country - she laughed.
i will tell the state of hawaii that the reason you have seen
an 60+ percent fall in big spender tourism from asia is not
the economy - it's your stupidity as witnessed in this video. 

teach your children well ... 

[ElsewheresDaughter]

27. teach your children well..teach them young how to live in a POLICE STATE...YOU MUST CONFORM! OBEY!

[Hissyspit]

29. Wonderful. Teaching them to trust any child molesters they may come across.

[Hulk]

30. Time to check out of this crazy ass world.

God, I'm glad my days are coming to an end. This is totally crazy bull shit. I wonder how many 6 yr olds they've caught now, trying to sneak in weapons and bombs on these flights.

Nation of fucking morons.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

31. I wouldn't have allowed this

I want Obama to let us see his wife and daughters being molested in public. Fuck him!

[OKDem08]

32. it's not about safety, it's about obedience n/t

[Grinchie]

33. Amazingly disturbing Viddee my Droogies

Not only is witnessing a young girl being subjected to this in a public place disturbing, but the thought that the TSA Gangsta's are actually unable to determine whether a valid threat or reason actually existed in the first place.

This is nothing more than "One Size Fits All" where everyone is a threat, no matter how blatantly obvious that there is no threat.

I have seen this same dog and pony show occur to our elderly, most of which have assorted metal pins implanted all over there bodies, being treated like some Terrorists. I have witnessed elderly with cards identifying implanted hips ignored and run through the ringer.

The drones that perform these functions have no choice -- They have agreed to perform this ridiculous show for $7.67 and hour, or be fired.

As always, I link the most salient video ever made regarding this policy developed by some retard who got it approved, and Napolitano can sit on it and rotate for letting these atrocities continue.

Americans are a bunch of cowardly sheep. I can't recognize the country I served for anymore.
