Woman: TSA Agents Singled Me Out For My Breasts
Travelers Plan To Boycott TSA's Latest Security Measure Aiming To Clog Security Lines

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The head of the Transportation Security Administration said the agency will look further into allegations that two male TSA workers picked a woman for additional screening because of her breasts.

Eliana Sutherland recently flew from Orlando International Airport and told Local 6 she felt the two male TSA workers were staring at her breasts and chose her for additional screening because of their size.

"It was pretty obvious. One of the guys that was staring me up and down was the one who pulled me over," said Sutherland. "Not a comfortable feeling."

Experiences like Sutherland's have been reported across the country, leaving many people to join a group planning to boycott the TSA's new full body scan in an effort to clog security lines on the day before Thanksgiving. Whether it's pat-downs or full-body scans, the changes are making some people question who gets chosen and why.

13. Do we deal with them accordingly before we get molested by these guys ? or after? and who do we
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 09:22 AM by flyarm
deal accordingly with them with?? TSA?????????? the Obama administration that has allowed this molestation? The Feds that are sanctioning this or Tom Daschle's wife who is making big bucks off us getting molested??????????

Just who do we deal with these "PIGS" accordingly with?????????????

Pigs will be Pigs , just doesn't get it for me...I am rather well endowed in the Breast department and a now retired 33 year flight crew, I have had these pigs drool over my tits for years, can you please explain to us who is going to do anything about these pigs NOW before I get my breast drooled over and felt up and molested again??????????????

20. I understand your pain
I don't want any pig drooling over my wife as well.

I don't know the answer, but I do know it isn't polite to stare. The pigs that are getting paid and using to ogle or feel up women should be fired, complaints should be issued every-time there is an incident.

If enough women and men, who witness such activities, complain about a specific agent or location, the authorities will have to do something, if not contact the local TV station, they love sensationalism.

29. ever try to ge them fired? Oh and by the way, I knew you were a man by your answer..
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 11:13 AM by flyarm
no the authorities won't have to do anything no matter what you think, unless people boycott this shit and slow up security and make airplanes go out with empty seats or delay airplanes and it cost big time to the airlines!

Only then will you see any changes!

This is intimidation at its worst. This is fasicsm.

Accept it at all of our peril.

The so called "BOMBERS" HAVE ALL COME INTO THE USA ON INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS. Why are we domestically being molested , when you can leave any port in Europe and you don't need to even take your shoes off?????????

How and who let the Underwear asshole onto a USA bund aircraft without a passport..but not only boarding without a passport, but he he had to have gotten his ..Boarding pass at the ticket counter ..without a passport.

He may or may not have checked his bags without a passport.

If he didn't have bags he would have gone through more extensive security in Europe..without a passport..yeah fucking right..

He went through security ..without a passport? yeah fucking right..........

and he got into the boarding area without a passport..who is kidding who here??????????

and then boarded a USA bound flight without a passport???..are all Americans this stupid???????????? that they believe this cock and bullshit story?????????

It is obvious to me that ANY AMERICAN THAT BELIEVES THIS BULLSHIT STORY NEVER FLEW INTERNATIONALLY!

BECAUSE IT IS A TOTAL BULLSHIT STORY!

JUST TRY BOARDING A USA DOMESTIC FLIGHT WITHOUT ID!! Just try.

So this underwear guy bypassed all security and all check in protocol and got on a International flight to the USA without a passport??

Come on, who is this stupid to believe this shit?????????

My questions then and will always be..who in our government gave the order to allow this asshole to board a USA bound airplane /flight without a passport. Because that is the only way this guy breached all and every step of security!

32. But I am a husband and father of girls
I think that living in a house of girls does qualify (slightly) to understand your frustration. Maybe not in your eyes, but I hope you do understand that I freak out thinking about my wife or daughters being molested. Trust me.

And you are absolutely right about it all being bullshit.

33. having daughters and a wife didn't stop you from answering like a man who has never had your tits
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 11:47 AM by flyarm
oggled at and been picked to be molested when going through security.

You still answered like a man! Because you have never and can never experience what we as women have and do.

You may have empathy, but yu still answered like a man, who can never experience what we do on a daily basis.

"Pigs are pigs and should be dealt with accordingly."

Tell me how? these are people with authority over our lives, they are federally in charge of us when trying to go to work or to just fly somewhere.

Unless we as an entire citizenry stop this with our voices and our behavior, no one will stop it. The next place for these machines, and groping ..your neighborhood school..or your local mall

who will stop the groping of your daughters then?????

38. I can't change the man part
And if I could I sure wouldn't want to.

The molestation part is more than just a frustration, and I am doing my part in voicing my opposition to the whole process. I don't know what else to do but be a voice for change. I can't stop them or I would.

6. Um, oversized are not attractive to some. Maybe they like C size more than Dolly Parton
Bigger is not always better, nor more arousing :)

9. I call bullsh*t on this story anyway. Male TSAs doing pat downs on females?
I thought that it was verboten to have male TSA personnel do pat downs on females and vice versa.

14. Depends on how big the rest of you is.
I have a C cup and I'm small elsewhere. They look far bigger than they are as a result.

I can see the woman's point.

Regardless, of whether you believe her or not, it's a shame that people all over this country are having their junk touched to fly... PERIOD.

8. I'm glad I always dress frumpy when I fly.
Not only are sweats more comfortable, but they make a grope seem less attractive.

12. Except that baggy clothing is supposedly a "red flag" that will result in additional screening.

15. Happened To Me
And, i fly all the time. But i was wearing a loose fitting cotton knit sweater when my wife and i went to FL last April. Got pulled aside for special search because of the baggy sweater.

Now, i hear they're even more strict. So, what's a woman supposed to do? Dress in loose clothing, get flagged. Dress in tight clothing get harassed. They've got to figure out something better.

21. Well at least she used the correct term
cuz we all know that using the wrong term to describe the part of your body that was sexually assaulted means that no sexual assault happened.

(at least according to some here) :sarcasm:

Your beautiful wives, children, friends and girlfriends will be groped.

Are there any that will stand up for them?
