Flight Attendant Tells Her TSA Sexual Assault Story

Kudos to Megan for being brave enough to share her story. As soon as the media discovers the HUNDREDS of stories just like hers then there will be some action and these scanners can be buried in the desert next to all those old Atari E.T. video games.

I will NEVER fly under these circumstances!!! We are being TERRORIZED in our own country people NEED to take a stand NOW! I am so sorry you had to endure such an atrocity and i am Outraged!

The problem begins at the top with the president and congress. One solution would to be to stop reelecting the same people. People are always complaining about congress yet the keep reelecting them. Why? Because they think it’s always somebody else’s member of congress that is not acting in the interests of the people. Guess what? That’s pure BS. Until we stop acting like sheep and keep reelecting our congressmen back to another term, our rights will keep going downhill!
Me? My personal policy is to never vote for an incumbent nor do I usually vote for the major party (yes, singular – there’s little difference between republicans and democrats).
Next time I fly I’ll probably be put on the no-fly list because I’m going to ask questions: So tell me, is my penis bigger than yours? Do you enjoy groping men? Your mom must be so proud of you because of the way you are helping to destroy American rights.
My question to TSA (terminally stupid assholes) agents on this forum: How can you do your job knowing that what you are doing is immoral and against the Constitution? Oh, you’re just following orders? Where have I heard that before?

When bottles of water were banned on airplanes, my wife and I vowed that we would not fly until the TSA harassment stopped. I have a medical condition in which my throat can quickly become very dry, which means that I need to constantly be near a source of drinking water; to prohibit me from having a bottle of water nearby is to put me at risk of choking. What outrages me is that in the intervening years, the harassment has increased. Do people really need to be subjected to intimidation, harassment, and health risks, in order to ensure safety? Do these things stop terrorism in the sky? This has not been proven. And it is a clear violation of our rights against unreasonable search and siezure. Whenever we travel, my wife and I drive, take the train, or go by bus. We share the car with others when possible. From our hometown outside of Albany, NY, we can get to LA within 3-4 days by any of these methods. Nobody touches our private areas, we don’t get strip searched, and I always have plenty of water within arm’s reach.

It’s only going to get worse with the Government and TSA….they do NOT care about our rights…and I for one, have canceled our Thanksgiving trip via flying….. This is the “Progressive” way of thinking by our Government..we have NO rights and are losing them every day…

I am a former US Army Officer and a 50% service-connected disabled veteran. I have a steel plate in my leg so every time I fly I set off the metal detector at the TSA checkpoint. Until recently I was just “wanded” with a hand-held metal detector I, and all other disabled veterans with metal implants, are now immediately taken out of line radiated or sexually molested and treated like a criminal. This violates our Constitutional rights under the 4th Amendment. When I was commissioned I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. The President, our Congressmen, members of the Cabinet, etc. all took the same oath. They must honor that oath and stop the TSA from its paranoid attack on the Constitution. Allowing TSA to target disabled veterans is beyond comprehension and nothing can justify it. TSA IS THE GESTAPO.

Incidentally, I possess a TWIC issued by HSA. I was photographed, fingerprinted, investigated and given a security clearance. This is a TSA ID card. It should be enough for me to pass through a TSA checkpoint with a simple scan of the card.

—– * In sum, there is an apt phrase to describe the security-scam scenario,
which is: PROBLEM – REACTION – SOLUTION
(vast, deep, slithering tentacles of corruption) !

—– ADDITIONAL QUESTION: Why do we have (b.s.) sham-scam theatrical airport security (along with staged covert ops/ psyops), when our land border with Mexico has been COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN to a deleterious inundation of drugs, thugs, human smuggling, and MS-13 gangsters ???!!!

I cannot even imagine allowing my wife, my 9 year old daughter, or my 5 year old son to be touched in this manner. It is just as offensive to me is either one of them being voyeured at through a computer monitor. It’s my impression that some of these TSA workers are sketchy people at best. If any “regular” citizen were to use one of these scanners to view children they would be immediately arrested for child pornography and jailed. However, the US government is cloaking this pornography under the veil of “airport security”! I just don’t buy it. My question is “Can’t we see the same risks of explosives and/or weapons with a regular x-ray that doesn’t look like a pornography image?” And if not, “can’t we combine a regular x-ray with the skills of a trained K-9 that are renowned for their abilities at detecting these kinds of risks?” With all of the brilliant people in this country we can definately find a way to make our airports safe without destroying the traveler’s trips. It is my belief that we need to benchmark some of the safest airports in the world and team up with them to design security measures that make our airports safe, yet protect the rights, privacy, and civil liberties of our US citizens. These principle should and could be the foremost objectives of airport security.

Interesting discussion on this topic.- just got it from a friend.
A Commentary from K— B——
The terrorists have won. We’re now a police state when it comes to air travel. I’m far more scared of some fat and otherwise-unemployable former warehouse stocker who now wields a federal badge than I am of ANY terrorist. I’m more frightened of any of the alphabet-soup federal agencies of the United States, my own countrymen, than anyone I might bump into in my travels from the Middle East.

The Israelis laugh at us. They have no scanners, no pat-downs in their airports. I saw their chief of airport security when they started installing those backscatter machines in airports. Some American newsman asked him about them and about airport and jetliner security in general.
The man actually *sneered* when talking about the many millions of dollars they would cost the taxpayers and flying public. And he said they were absolutely useless as Israeli security services had already figured a way around them, a way to smuggle deadly things aboard jetliners even after going through them. The newsman asked him how THEY handled security. Strictly by profiling, he said. You look at them. You look at their body language. You observe how they are dressed. You watch their expressions. You check their tickets to see where they’ve come from and where they are going. You rarely even speak to anyone, just look at their paperwork and watch them. He said all of this as if he were talking to a small child, slowly, like he was trying to explain the very obvious to a moron.

The U.S. and the technological empires that run us fell back on technology. The Israelis focus on people. I think at one point the Israeli security chief even called us “fools.”

After that interview, the newsman went on to say that Israel secretly offered the Bush White House to take and train our airport security people. They were willing to send experts to the U.S. and train them extensively, just like they’d been trained at home.

They were turned down.

You could not drag me through one of those airport security areas with a team of wild horses. I’d fight anyone trying to degrade me to that extent the same as I would fight them if they were trying to rape me.
I’d like to go to Mars for the weekend sometime, but that isn’t possible. Someday I might want, very badly, to go to Los Angeles or New York in a day. Currently, that too is impossible for me. If everyone was like me–or that gentleman who refused to be groped–the airlines would shut down as soon as the airborne planes landed. And THEN we’d see positive changes made.

But once a federal agency–or several–have been created, try eliminating it. Go ahead. Try it.

If you touch my junk, I’ll kick your a#@$%!

High school dropouts shouldn’t be allowed to operate machines that emit x-rays. They shouldn’t even be trusted with a flashlight.

This is to all the morons that obediently head for the airport scanners, or submit to full body searches, all while confidently blabbering that “this will guarantee our safety and I’m glad to do it”.

So let me get this straight. You’re about to walk into a twenty foot diameter tube with windows that’s cleared for take-off to thirty-two thousand feet at 525 miles per hour, all while you sit there reading a book, watching TV or listening to your iPod, and somehow you think YOU ARE SAFE?? I’ll bet you voted for Obama too!

First of all let me say that I am all for increased security and the safety of our nation and its people, but this whole thing with the TSA and these machines has caused me to change my travel plans for the upcoming holidays. I was planning to fly to California (like I have done many, many times) and now think I will look into an alternative travel method. The idea of being subjected to public humiliation and possibly risking my health is not worth the price of getting to the other side of the country in 5 hours. The last time I flew, I remember a few TSA agents acting as if they were above everyone and the law itself. I thought they were put in place to help us but now it seems as if this agency has become the terrorists! I am glad I bought refundable tickets and now that I think about it, I have always wanted to see our country by rail. I am done with flying until they change these policies and procedures and maybe have their agents take some customer service and sensitivity training courses.
