Thousands of People Resist Undignified Searches At Airports All Over America - Has Denmark Vesey Sparked A Revolution?

 


TSA Hit With Lawsuits As Revolt Explodes

The TSA has been hit with a number of lawsuits as the revolt against Big Sis, naked body scanners, and invasive groping measures explodes, with one case involving a woman who had her blouse pulled down in full public view by TSA goons who then proceeded to laugh and joke about her exposed breasts.

One of the most disturbing, which is subject to an ongoing lawsuit, involved a 21-year-old college student from Amarillo Texas. The woman was passing through security at Corpus Christi airport on May 29 2008 when she was subjected to “extended search procedures” by the TSA.

“As the TSA agent was frisking plaintiff, the agent pulled the plaintiff’s blouse completely down, exposing plaintiffs’ breasts to everyone in the area,” the lawsuit said. “As would be expected, plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and humiliated.”

“One male TSA employee expressed to the plaintiff that he wished he would have been there when she came through the first time and that ‘he would just have to watch the video,’” the suit said.

That guy who accused the TSA person of sexually assaulting him was hilarious! He was like "I didn't know I had to be sexually assaulted just to fly" TSA: "this isn't a sexual assault". Random Guy: "It would be if you weren't the government". LOL.

People are refusing the full body scan and opting for the body pat down instead but I honestly think being felt up is more offensive than being viewed through the scanner.

I like how in one vid the spokeswoman stresses how it's not like an electronic strip search, but on the radar image you can clearly see the guy's penis.

And uhhhh... is it me or does the "underwear bomber" look a lot like the kid from Finding Forrester. And if I were the paranoid type, I might be inclined to think he might be one of those plant cases, like the "shoe bomber" so when people say, "well, why do I have to take off my shoes, that's stupid", or "why do you have to grope my crotch?" they can always say, "Welll.... remember the underwear bomber..."

But no, i'm not that type at all. :)
